Stir the Deep with Me
7 Week Mentoring Program
I started actively cultivating a deep, real relationship with God in 2001. What I gained is beyond tremendous in every facet of my life. My passion is to share with others what I have learned. Not to teach, but to give others the tools to drink from the fountain of living water themselves. I developed a mentoring program to help others to establish a quiet time with God to cultivate a relationship with Him. I’m posting the program on my blog for those who would like to participate on their own.

Watch the video below to hear more about this program.
Below is information on the program.
• Would you like to develop intimacy with God?
• Discover a love for the Word?
• Take your relationship with God to a deeper level?
• Have God’s promises be active in your life?
Stir the Deep with Me: One-on-One Discipleship Mentoring was created to help others develop their one-on-one relationship with God. Its goal is to cultivate intimacy with God and help others fulfill their ultimate purpose to being in a deep relationship with Him in truth and love. It isn’t a Bible study. It is establishing a lifestyle. It is a discipleship with coaching and accountability in spending quiet time with God.
Those with a desire to learn 1.) how to cultivate deeper intimacy with God 2.) how to spend quality alone time that builds a deep, real relationship with God, and 3.) have God as their first love are a good candidate for this program. Those who partake do with the understanding that it’s the journey to fulfillment of the first commandment to love God with all their heart, soul and mind and quiet devotion is of utmost importance among their priorities. It is for those willing to pass on what they will gain.
The 7 weeks include:
A. Participation in ~10 minute instructional meeting (video) each week including the following topics
1. The Process of Quiet Time
2. Coming as a Bride
3. Holy Spirit as The Teacher
4. Structure of the Word of God
5. Perspectives for being in the Word of God
6. What to Expect?
7. Review and Mentoring Others
B. Participation in a brief accountability and counsel meeting as follows:
1. 1st – 4thweeks- 2 times a week
2. 5th – 7th weeks – 1 time a week
C. Your commitment to 40 minutes of one-on-one time a day with God in His Word that will become a part of your daily life.
This journey only works if there is an active engagement and commitment. If you are ready to step into a deep relationship with God and thus the life God has waiting for you and make this commitment you will be blessed beyond measure. This program is the only beginning to a lifelong journey walking hand-in-hand with God.

Hi Rachel, these sound like wonderful ideas. I have been challenged by several brothers and sisters in person and in the books and blogs I’ve been reading to spend more quality time with God each day. I’ve been on this journey for about a year now; I believe it has made a difference although I have definitely seen that it takes time! I ahve actually been concerned that my time with God has been less frequent and less meaningful lately, so this is coming at a perfect time to focus and encourage me. Thanks again! I’m excited to see the videos over the next few weeks.

Ruth – I’m so glad that you found these helpful. My hope is to encourage others on their journey in spending that time because it is so important. I’ll be posting the next video this week.

Slamdunk – thanks. The time we spend with God, our first love – is the most important and the best way to spend our time.

Wonderful post. Well done. God is the Power. Prayer works. We need faith to believe that one can move mountains. Our pets are gifts from God; to show and give love. We must continue to pray for the Will of God be done. God Bless you and your fine work in the Lord.

[...] Stir the Deep with Me at Stirring the Deep, by Rachel. Rachel has gone to a lot of work to put together this great series of videos. She isn’t finished with them yet. I suggest that if the material is new to you, you take notes and spend some time practicing each one before you go on to the next. This practice has absolutely revolutionized my life and my relationship with Jesus. (Is there a difference between my life and my relationship with Jesus? Less and less, all gratitude and glory to Him.) [...]

A Reflection on the Body of Christ
Some random thoughts… the Body is built on relationship, not hierarchy.
We relate via the presence of the Holy Spirit, who will bear witness of the things of Christ, and they will be in agreement/harmony with the written word.
Believers are gifted differently and thereby contribute via the Holy Spirit to the building up of the body.
As we are transformed increasingly in to the likeness of Christ, in character and conduct, His presence will be more greatly manifested…His light will shine in/through us.
It is important to remember that the body functions via Spirit not Law. Scripture tells us that Love never fails. The Love of I Corinthians 13 is only possible by /through the operation of the Spirit. It is therefore important to NOT keep record of wrongs or scorecards of offenses… rather it is important to have a teachable spirit, a heart attitude which is quick to repent and forgive.
Let us be diligent and prayerful to have His wisdom to meet every daily situation with the mind of Christ.
blessings..

Rachel, I am a Christian and was tired of living a typical Christian life and I wanted more. I have never had a relationship with God that I was able to hear his Holy Spirit. I found your videos on YouTube and began the mentoring program yesterday. I know God has a plan for my life and he has a lot of work to do in my life but I wanted to thank you for these videos.
God Bless,
Philip
