Mutual Mentoring

Mutual Mentoring involves a special relationship between two women who love the Lord and want to encourage one another in their personal and spiritual growth. Each woman realizes that she is still learning and developing, but she is willing to share with, listen to, accept and affirm the other in her daily journey.
You can use The Intentional Womanworkbook and process as an effective and exciting mentoring tool, whether within the context of your church's women's ministry or with your neighbor, the mother of your child's pal, or your own best friend. In a private and comfortable setting, you both can individually explore your life experiences while sharing answers with one another.

You can work through the IW book over a six week time period, discussing prep steps the first week and then moving through the five IW steps. Or you could spread it over several months meeting every other week or in whatever way fits your time schedule. We suggest each person serve as a prayer partner and listener for the other. If you feel that time and distance limits your options for meeting, be creative. Several other women have shared this experience by interacting via phone, email, or instant messaging.

You can adapt ideas for your time together from the Guideline for Facilitation section pages 139-147 of the workbook. We recommend that you design your time together with reasonable time boundaries. You can read the book together during your time or assign specific sections to read and complete ahead of time.
