Creating Beautiful Mentorship Relationships Sister To Sister

Older Christian women are instructed by God in Titus 2:3-5 to "...be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." 

In this podcast, Cindy answers some questions to help sharpen the skills of women who mentor so their influence is more likely to bear beautiful fruit in the lives of other women they help. This podcast is also very much for younger women who want to make the most of being mentored. 

What are some ways we older women can make ourselves more approachable to younger women?

What are some things we can do to build relationships with one another?

What are some ways we can encourage without making the younger women feel criticized or defensive?

How do we encourage if we don’t feel we have done the best job with our children?

What if we feel unqualified to offer advice?

How can we encourage conversations that may be on a more intimate level --- how do we make ourselves approachable for any type of questions and conversation?

Should we offer advice if they are not asking for it and if so, how do we offer advice if the younger woman is not asking for it?
