Mentoring Conversations: 30 key topics to explore together

Of all the psalms of King David, the most popular and well-known is Psalm 23. Its very familiarity, however, may cause us to miss its beauty and message. Song of the Shepherd shows that the picture of the loving shepherd and his sheep speaks profoundly about how we can relate to God. It invites us to enjoy a relationship of intimacy and grace, finding true peace and contentment as we learn to depend on God day by day. Song of the Shepherd examines the psalm verse by verse and can be used either for individual reflection or for group discussion (questions are provided). It covers key issues in discipleship for both new and mature Christians—learning how to rest in God, learning to trust God through the difficult times, and learning how to live from the resources God provides.

Working from a Place of Rest: Jesus and the key to sustaining ministry

Exhaustion, burnout, tiredness, even breakdown... sadly, such conditions are all too common these days, not least among those involved in some kind of Christian ministry, whether full-time, part-time or voluntary. In striving to do our utmost for God, we can easily forget that there were many times when Jesus himself was willing to rest, to do nothing except wait for the Spirit's prompting, so that he demonstrated the vital principle of 'working from a place of rest'. Drawing on extensive experience of training and mentoring across the world, Tony Horsfall reflects on the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman to draw out practical guidance for sustainable Christian life and work. As he writes: 'Come and sit by the well for a while. Take some time out to reflect on how you are living and working. Watch Jesus and see how he does it. Listen to what the Spirit may be saying to you deep within, at the centre of your being; and maybe, just maybe, God will give you some insights that will change your life and sustain your ministry over the long haul.'

Working from a Place of Rest
