The bride of Christ is glorious and beautiful because of its head—but it’s far from perfect yet. Members can lash out on other members through division, gossip, fallen leadership, manipulative practices, or the like. How are we, as members of Christ’s body, to respond to his bride when we have been hurt deeply by her? And how can all of us show compassion to those who have had different, and sometimes harder, experiences than we have? This workshop will help us ask and answer these questions—and in the process love the church even more wisely and deeply.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
