They discuss the biblical impetus for life-on-life discipleship and how to overcome the intimidation factor when someone asks you to mentor her. They give practical advice on how to make a mentoring relationship work in real life.

Discussion Questions:
1. What has mentoring or discipleship looked like in your life to this point? Who is one person that has played a significant role in helping your faith grow?
2. In what ways have you experienced other believers “bearing witness” to God’s faithfulness? How did this encourage you?
3. Who has powerfully spoken into your life and “loaned courage” to increase your confidence to serve God?
4. Do you tend to prioritize time alone with God or time in community? Why is it necessary to pursue both, and how might you need to adjust your focus?
5. What are the primary ways you’re being mentored and discipled right now? Who is mentoring you “from a distance?” and who is walking alongside you, allowing you to see the messiness of her own faith as she pursues God imperfectly?
6. What next step do you want to take to pursue mentoring or discipleship, and how can others pray for you?
