Chapter 23 · Section Five, Stage 3: Probe
Mentors
The crossing creates the conditions for the mentoring relationship.
The question this chapter asks
Who has already crossed what you are crossing?
Practice
20 minutes
Send the message
Draft the message you would send to someone who has already crossed. Keep it to five sentences. Then send it, and write down who you sent it to and the date.
For the group
Who has crossed where you're going? Name them. Have you asked them to walk with you? If not, what's stopping you? The group can help you draft the ask.
For the leader
If someone can't name a mentor, the group can suggest one. "Have you thought about asking ___?" is one of the most useful things a small group can do.
If your group prays together
Test everything. Hold on to what is good.
