Are you tired of relying on generic advice and outdated articles for answers to your big questions about faith and relationships? Joining a Christian mentorship could be the fresh start you’ve been searching for. 

I know what it’s like to feel lost in the middle of life’s messiness, unsure of how to move forward or even who to turn to. I didn’t have a Christian mentor to help guide me, so I had to learn many lessons the hard way — through trial and error, heartache, and moments of deep reflection. I’ve had to face tough conversations, set boundaries that weren’t easy, and adjust when I got it wrong. It wasn’t always pretty, and it wasn’t always smooth, but every step taught me something valuable.

Now, I want to take what I’ve learned and use it to support you. I want to help you avoid the unnecessary hurts I endured, offer wisdom where I once felt clueless, and remind you that you’re not alone in this. Keep reading to learn more about how Christian mentoring for women can be a safe space to grow, ask hard questions, and find support from someone who’s walked a similar road.

Christian Mentoring for Women: FAQs

What exactly is a Christian mentor, and what do they do to help you navigate life’s challenges with faith and confidence? Let’s get into it.

What Is the Purpose of a Christian Mentor?

Do you have big questions about faith or your purpose? Do you have sensitive questions about sex and relationships? Are you struggling with building meaningful connections, setting boundaries, or figuring out how to put God first? Do you want to become bold in your Christian walk but feel stuck on where to even start? That’s where a Christian mentor steps in. 

They are someone you can count on to provide a safe space to ask questions without feeling stupid or judged and get answers rooted in biblical guidance and real-life experiences. For me, mentoring women is about using the struggles and challenges I’ve faced and overcome to help you walk through yours with more clarity and hope. 

It’s about encouraging you when life feels overwhelming, offering support as you make tough decisions, and reminding you of God’s truth on the days it’s hardest to believe. A Christian mentor is there to cheer you on, speak truth in love, and help you grow in your faith as you work toward the life God is calling you to live.

What Is the Biblical Definition of a Mentor?

A Christian mentor is more than just someone to chat with — they’re like your spiritual coach, stepping into the mess of life with you and pointing you back to God every time. They don’t sugarcoat the truth but deliver it with love, pulling wisdom straight from Scripture and pairing it with real-world experience. Think of them as the person who calls you higher when life gets real — challenging you to grow, holding you accountable, and walking alongside you as you figure out how to live out your faith. 

We see this type of relationship through Paul and Timothy’s interactions in the Bible. Paul was Timothy’s mentor. He didn’t just teach Timothy; he poured into him, reminding him to “fan into flame the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6) and not to “let anyone look down on you because you are young” (1 Timothy 4:12). 

Their relationship is a great example of biblical mentorship. It’s having someone who shows up, shares their own story, calls out the potential in you, and gives you the courage to chase after God’s purpose for your life with boldness and faith.

What Should Christian Mentorship Look Like?

Christian mentorship isn’t some cookie-cutter, surface-level thing — it’s raw, real, and rooted in faith. It’s about doing life together, digging deep into the messy stuff, and letting God work through it. 

At The Well (my Christian mentoring group for women), I’m there for you not just to give you pep talks (although I will be your biggest cheerleader), but I’ll also challenge you and call you higher. It’s a rhythm of meeting consistently, praying like it matters (because it does), and cracking open God’s Word to uncover how to actually live it out. 

What Are the Principles of Christian Mentoring for Women?

Christian women’s mentoring is about stepping into the real, gritty moments of life together and speaking truth into them with faith. At The Well, you can find answers to the hard questions and challenging situations you’re facing while being pushed toward God’s bigger purpose — and it all comes down to these principles:

• We Keep It Real: Forget the filters. Mentoring is about being honest about your struggles, opening up about your walk with God, and letting His truth hit the hard places.
• We Go to Scripture First: Advice is cheap, but God’s Word? That’s eternal. Mentoring means leaning hard on Scripture for wisdom and using it as a guide for every step forward.
• We Stay Consistent: This isn’t a “whenever I can fit it in” relationship. As your Christian mentor, I make time to connect, pray over you, and guide you as you wrestle with life and faith.
• We Challenge With Love: A real mentor isn’t just a shoulder to cry on. They’re the one who looks you in the eye, calls out the excuses, and points you toward God’s calling with courage.
• We Put Our Faith in Action: It’s not just about talking the talk. As someone who shares your beliefs, I’ll help you figure out how to live it — whether that’s stepping out in faith or staying grounded in tough seasons.

Christian mentoring is about knowing you’ve got someone who’s in your corner with the advice, guidance, practical tips, and heartfelt encouragement you need. 

Who Needs a Christian Mentor?

Everyone. Seriously. None of us are ever so perfect that we can’t benefit from getting advice from someone older, wiser, and further along in their faith journey. Whether you’re just figuring out what it means to follow Jesus or you’ve been walking with Him for years, a mentor brings clarity to the chaos. They’re the person who calls you out when you’re slipping, reminds you what’s true when doubt creeps in, and encourages you to keep going when life feels like too much.

How To Find a Christian Mentor

You know how every piece of Christian relationship advice seems to include something like, “Talk to a trusted mentor about it?” Sounds great in theory, but when it comes to how to find a Christian mentor, it’s not always that simple. It’s really important to find someone you trust who has lived through the challenges you’re facing and is strong in their faith.

Why Not Friends?

Friends are amazing! They know you, care about you, and want what’s best for you. But sometimes, they tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear. That’s not helpful when you’re trying to grow in your faith, set healthy boundaries, or figure out tough life decisions. At The Well, you get honest, unbiased wisdom rooted in faith — not just feel-good advice.

Why Not Family?

Your family loves you, but they’re not always impartial. They might bring their own biases, expectations, or past experiences into the mix, which can complicate things. At The Well, you get a fresh, outside perspective, free from family dynamics. It’s a space where you can be fully open without worrying about any strings attached.

Why Not Church Members?

Church seems like a solid option — until you realize how awkward it can feel to share your most personal struggles with someone who sees you every Sunday. There’s also the fear of judgment or even just the hesitation of letting someone so close to your social circle into the messier parts of your life. At The Well, you get judgment-free Christian mentorship in a confidential space, so you can work through the hard stuff without hesitation.

Why The Well Is Different

The Well isn’t just another mentorship program — it’s a personal connection. I designed this mentorship to meet you where you are, offering one-on-one guidance tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you’re feeling lost in a relationship, struggling with self-doubt, or have deep questions about your faith, I’m here to listen, encourage, and guide you through it all with understanding and compassion.

Unlike traditional mentorship, The Well gives you direct, on-demand chat access to me. You can reach out anytime, anywhere — whether it’s late at night when worries keep you awake or in the middle of your day when you need clarity on a decision. Life doesn’t wait for appointments, and neither do I. I’m here to support you exactly when and where you need it.

Questions To Ask a Christian Mentor

Now, this might all sound great, but what about the specifics? What types of topics can you bring to a Christian mentorship? What are the big questions worth exploring together?

Here’s a Starting Place

We can talk about whatever’s on your heart. Some of the topics I’ve helped women with include setting boundaries, like one gal who decided she wanted to stop having sex before marriage and needed support navigating that with her boyfriend.

I’ve also walked alongside women who had tough questions about faith and wanted to understand more about what the Bible says, helping them grow closer to God. And, having lost both my parents, I’ve supported women grieving the loss of loved ones by sharing my experience and offering comfort.

Other Topics You Might Want To Explore

• Growing your faith: Whether you’re new to Christianity or have been walking with God for years, we can talk about ways to deepen your relationship with Him.
• Understanding the Bible: If you have questions about Scripture or aren’t sure how to apply it to your daily life, we can study together and explore its meaning.
• Healing from past hurts: We can discuss how to find peace and forgiveness, whether it’s forgiving others, yourself, or processing pain that’s still heavy on your heart.
• Navigating relationships: From setting healthy boundaries to honoring God in dating or marriage, we can work through the challenges of relationships together.
• Overcoming self-doubt: If you’re struggling to see your worth or trust in God’s plan for your life, I’d love to help you find clarity and confidence rooted in your faith.
• Finding your purpose: Wondering what God’s calling is for your life? We can explore your passions, gifts, and how God might be leading you.
• Handling life’s stress and overwhelm: We can talk about managing anxiety, slowing down, and leaning on God’s peace when life feels too much.

• Caring for your whole self: We can explore how to nurture your emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness in a way that helps you feel balanced and connected to God.

Bring Your Heart, and Let’s Talk

Whatever you’re facing — whether it’s a big decision, a challenge, or just something weighing you down — we can explore it together. My goal is to offer guidance rooted in my experiences and faith while walking alongside you in love and understanding. There’s no question too small or too overwhelming for us to face together.

When it comes to what questions to ask a Christian mentor, ask yourself, “What’s on my heart today?” That’s always a good starting place.
