Guidance and Mentorship
Guidance and mentorship are time-honored disciplines for spiritual growth. Seeking wisdom, accountability, and encouragement from spiritual teachers, mentors, or elders is a practice found in every tradition.
Spiritual direction: Meeting with a guide to discern God’s presence and leading.
Mentorship: Learning from the example and counsel of those further along the path.
Community wisdom: Drawing on the collective insight of a group or tradition.
These relationships foster humility, accountability, and a sense of belonging on the spiritual journey.
