Why Guides/Spiritual Outfitting?

Crossroads’ mission is to connect seekers to a community of growing Christ followers who change the world. We’re doing that as a spiritual outfitter, so that anyone in our community has the opportunity to get connected to a deeper relationship with Jesus. We will inspire, equip & mobilize staff and volunteer leaders throughout Crossroads to more fully engage as GUIDES for others in our community.

We Guide so that people become more like Christ.

Our goal is to develop Christ-like leaders, personally and practically living out our mission to help more people come into relationship with Jesus and to mature as Christ-followers:

  • Stop negotiating with God (Luke 9:23-24)
  • Grow in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:11-16)
  • Love God with whole heart and neighbor as themself (Matthew 22:37-39)

What is a guide?

A guide is someone who can hear someone’s story and help them take a next step in their relationship with God.
They do this by:

Knowing their People
Touch base monthly. Listen to how things are going. Be available for them as they need.

Pray for them regularly Weekly, intentionally pray for what they’ve shared with you, or ask God for insight on how to guide them well.

Knowing Jesus and Crossroads
You have experience walking with Jesus. You can’t take someone to a place you haven’t been. And remember, you’re not alone. It takes a village.

You’re aware of available resources. Or you know where to find them.

Helping them take a Next Step
You don’t have to have the answer for everything. But these tools will help you know where to look. And you’re on a team who can help.

Follow up. What makes this different than anything we’ve tried before is relationship. It’s not a one-and-done hand-off or connection. You’re going to walk with someone over time and get to see God change their life. Now that’s an adventure.

You Have Authority to Guide

No matter how long you’ve been following Jesus, you can be a guide. And remember, you’ll keep growing as you lead others. One of the biggest barriers you’ll face in leading is your own belief in your authority and skills. Don’t walk that alone. We’re here to help you become the leader God designed you to be.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
- Genesis 1:26

From the beginning. God created us to have authority in the kingdom. And he gave us responsibility to steward whatever he puts in our sphere of influence. That includes our community, and leading them well to know him more.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
- Matthew 28:18-20

ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Jesus, and he has passed that along to you. This may feel like a high challenge, but remember, he will be with you always through it.

You, yes you, have something to offer. Walk confidently in that.

Overcoming Guiding Barriers

Whether it’s your first time guiding someone or you’ve got too many people in your life you don’t know where to start, keep these things in mind.

You were made to guide.
It’s the last thing Jesus told us to do, and we have the Holy Spirit guiding us. It might get rocky at times, but you’re also growing in the process.

You have something to offer.
Just because someone might be more mature, in a different life stage, or has completely different experiences than you, doesn’t mean you can’t still be a good guide. Even if you simply connect, listen, and pray, you’ve guided. And you have a team and resources to support you.

You will also benefit.
Not only will you grow as you guide, but the people you’re guiding can also grow to be guides. As guides multiply and invest in others, your guiding efforts will be multiplied.

How does this all fit together in the growth journey?

Many of your existing relationships aren’t just guides. You’re investing in them more deeply, they’re coming around your house and family, you talk to them more than once a month. That’s great. And needed. Not all guiding relationships go deeper, and it’s not expected for them to. But where you have additional relationship to lead others, go for it.

More on ways to lead people well.

These tools provided will help you lead in the different types of relationships.

Personal Practices for Growth
Your Resources + Tools Available


Overview

One mark of a guide is that they continue growing as a Christ follower. As you grow in leading, it forces you to grow in living and loving more like Jesus. And, you can only give as much as you receive. Avoid burnout, lead lightly, and continue to grow.

Whatever God wants to do in your ministry/group/volunteer team, he is first going to do in you.


back to top

Take Care of Yourself

A watchout for a pastor is that they tend to put others ahead of themselves. Loving? Yes. Humble? Yes. Unhealthy? Sometimes. We have to be honest about our time and energy limitations and set boundaries. Basically, we have to put on our spiritual oxygen mask before assisting others.

Navigating Spiritual Growth
Wayfinder
Common Challenges Guides Face


Overview

A guide is someone who can listen to someone’s story and help them identify a next step that will help them look more like Jesus.

Key Behaviors of a Guide

  • Continues to pursue a lifestyle of following Jesus
  • Check in with your people monthly (See conversation tip.)
  • Pray for them regularly (See prayer tips)
  • Knows available Crossroads products / experiences and which ones are right for who
  • Helps someone take the next step to grow
  • Follow up with them

Start by Listening Well

It's amazing what a simple “How are you?” can open the door for. And you’ll see more fruit in the conversation the better you listen. To listen well, you need 3 main components:

  • Warmth: communicate love
  • Respect: communicate high regard
  • Empathy: communicate understanding.

The best way to develop these skills is to participate in Listening Training. Or, freshen up on them with this video.

Sign up for Listening Training

Learn from Their Story

Get to know the person you’re guiding. Let them get to know you.
Share stories with each other early. It’s best if you model if first, and then listen for theirs. Consider the time you have available. If you’re grabbing coffee, maybe it’s a 20-minute version. If you’re just chatting on the phone, try to share in five minutes. If it’s been a while since you’ve shared your story with someone, or you’ve never tried, grab coffee with a friend and role play. Each person takes a turn and gets feedback.

Elements of your story to share:

  • What was / is your family like? What are things in your life that bring you joy?
  • What was your life like before Jesus? What were the broken pieces, how did you try to cope with them?
  • How were you introduced to Jesus? What did it look like to experience Him for the first time?
  • How has your life changed since you entered a relationship with Him? Share the freedom and healing you’ve received, but also the places where you’re still growing. Model authenticity, not perfection.

Now, listen to their story. As you’re listening, ask the Holy Spirit to point out parts of their story He wants to focus on. Listen with a discerning ear* to hear what God might be saying is the right next step for them.

*Find indicators for discerning where they are

Common Challenges Guides Face

Life is messy, and Guides are on the front lines of supporting some of the hardest things people experience. Here’s some tools for navigating these challenging topics. Your main job as a Guide, is just to listen and respond with warmth, respect and empathy. These scriptures are just here to support you.

Lifestage


Marriage
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
- Ecclesiastes 4:9

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
- Genesis 2:24

Weddings
Real Marriage

Singleness
I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
- 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord.
- Hosea 2:19-20


Parenting
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
- Proverbs 22:6

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Grief
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
- Psalm 34:18

For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.

Addiction
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Health/Healing

What if the group I need isn’t in session?

Direction and Purpose
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
- Isaiah 30:21

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
- Matthew 7:7-8


Spiritual Apathy
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
- Ephesians 6:10-12

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
- Romans 12:9-13


Hearing from God
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
- Jeremiah 33:3

To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
- John 10:3-4


Fear / Worry / Anxiety
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
- Philippians 4:6


Generosity / Money
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
- Malachi 3:10

Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
- Luke 6:37-38


Tithing
The tithe is established in the Old Testament ( Gen 14:20, Gen 28:20-22 , Deut 26:1-2 , 2 Chron 31:4-5 ), and is reaffirmed by Jesus ( Luke 11:42 ). Tithing means giving the first 10% of your gross income to your local church. Why gross income? Because the principle of the tithe is that the first and best 10% of your income goes to God. In ancient times that may have been in the form of crops or livestock. Today that comes in the form of money. Giving off of net means the government is getting your first, not God. Further, those who tithe understand that God blesses the tithe, and quite honestly, we’d rather see God bless our gross income instead of settling for him blessing our net.
