Spiritual Companioning is a specialized ministry in the Church. It is a graced way of helping another to grow in intimacy with God and to live out the responsibilities of that intimacy.
All intimacy depends upon noticing and responding to another.
We may not notice signs of God's presence, of God's communications. We may be unaware of what God is doing in our daily lives or what God desires for us. Once we begin to notice God and our responses, our whole relationship with God becomes much more intimate and real. We can expect a good companion to help us focus on our relationship with God. Contemporary direction presumes that God communicates through ordinary human experience.
