In today's episode we are going to cover the basis of Biblical mentoring, what this might look like, and then what do you do when you can't find a mentor? Let's jump in:

Spiritual Mothering: The Titus 2 Model for Women Mentoring Women by Susan Hunt. 

If you want to dive deeper into this subject on spiritual mentoring, I highly suggest you check out this book. Susan thoroughly covers this topic from a Biblical standpoint as well as a highly practical stand point. At the beginning of each chapter, she shares a real life example of Biblical mentoring and I love how each example is so different from one another and yet, such a beautiful picture of the titus 2 command carried out. It even gives suggestions on what mentoring subjects should be, how to learn from older women, what qualifies an older woman to mentor. So go check that out because it's awesome!

Anxious for Nothing: God's Cure for the Cares of Your Soul by John MacArthur

In the last episode, the book of the week was Trusting God. This week I want to talk about the other very influencial book on anxiety and worry. This is the book I've been quoting a lot this episode and it's such an encouraging and Biblically-based one. Honestly, if you are really struggling with anxiety and are overwhelmed - I highly recommend you read both of these books. Pick one and just start reading!

Anxious for Nothing takes you through a Biblical look at anxiety, what it is and how we can begin to work through it. Based upon Gods Word! I highly recommend it!
