Our daughters and sons are bombarded with messages about the source and nature of a woman’s worth. Both the culture at large and Christian subculture paint stereotypes of the most valuable (or least valuable) versions of womanhood. Both cultures can be guilty of devaluing women. How can Christian parents raise daughters to look beyond stereotypes and embrace the strength and dignity that are their spiritual heritage and biblical calling?

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.
