Friday Five

This week's Friday Five is mainly focused on formative finds, articles that help in our spiritual formation aka growing in our relationship with God and as a follower of Jesus.

1. It's Alright To Just Be Pals

This one is for those looking for a spiritual mentor or who has ever been in the weird place of trying to put a label on a relationship that does not need a label. 

2. Why Mentoring Is Better Than Asking Alexa

Amazon's Alexa can help us in many ways, but growing in wisdom and grace is not one of them. For help in that realm, we need spiritual mentors and godly older friends. 

3. What to Look for in a Spiritual Mentor

This post is written by the author of the above one as well - Melissa Kruger. She just released a new book on mentoring (which I am eager to read). However, this is a helpful post on what to look for in a spiritual mentor. 

4. Ten Things You Should Know About Christian Hospitality.

Rosaria Butterfield wrote this helpful article based off of her most recent book that is focused on biblical hospitality. This article is a helpful primer.

5. Ten Things You Should Know About The New Heavens and New Earth

I love reading articles about the New Heavens and New Earth and this one is a great primer for the topic as well!

Thanks for joining me for this week's Friday five! I'm going to do something different for the month of August and instead of having a weekly list, I'm going to return to a monthly list. So look out for a fun and formative finds list at the end of August.
