Transferable Holiness
This week I was at the Center for Renewal ( www.cfrbarn.org ) for a half day retreat. I do this monthly with a friend who asked me to enter into a discipleship relationship with him. I explained to him my understanding of discipleship and that we are to become Jesus’ disciples. If we were to enter into this, my role would be to help him become a more fully devoted follower of Jesus. Since I believe that one of the best ways to do that is to help individuals and groups to connect personally with Jesus, I proposed that we would do a half day retreat together once a month. We would start with an hour of Spiritual Direction and then spend the next two and half hours alone with Jesus. We would close out the time sharing what happened during our time alone. This is one possible way of implementing the model of spiritual mentoring that I have written about on the CFR web site. I am interested in doing this with several individuals and would love to see others following this model
