Walking With Others

Walking With Others is a discipleship process that helps adults discover how to come alongside others with spiritual attentiveness, relational wisdom, and grace-filled presence.

“We deepen our Christian life for more than our private edification. We grow to help others grow. The one who learns becomes one who helps others learn, in a beautiful reciprocal relationship.”
– Timothy Jones

This third and final stage in the VantagePoint3 discipleship pathway will challenge adults to take a next step in their development—learning to become developers of others. It builds on The Journey and A Way of Life by equipping adults for relational ministry and paying attention to their lifelong apprenticeship with Jesus. Rooted in Jesus’ example of walking with people over time, Walking With Others provides a meaningful space to reflect on how God uses our presence, listening, and stories to guide and encourage others in their spiritual lives.

Prerequisites: The Journey, A Way of Life

By leading a group through Walking With Others, you will help participants grow in their capacity to be a trusted companion on someone else’s journey of faith.

A Place of Learning and Formation

Explore the personal and relational practices essential to mentoring and spiritual companionship—paying attention to others, fostering spiritual friendships, embracing the challenges of mature discipleship, and cultivating a safe, growth-oriented learning environment within the church and beyond. These sessions deepen understanding of how to walk with others in authentic, grace-filled community.

A Lifelong Perspective

Guide participants through a deeper understanding of Christian maturity by reflecting on life stories, embracing spiritual friendship, and navigating life rhythms and transitions. Through personal reflection, triad conversations, and spiritual retreat, adults gain clarity, renewal, and vision for walking with others in their faith journey.

A Leadership of Companionship

Invite participants into a more relational and intentional way of life and ministry, shaped by deep spiritual friendships and marked by hospitality, patience, and attentiveness to God’s unique work in others. These sessions help leaders cultivate a relational ministry rooted in presence, discernment, and trust in God’s timing.
Through Walking With Others, adults begin to reimagine the everyday ways they can lead, mentor, and disciple others—not by mastering a method, but by offering their presence and attention in Jesus’ name.

Testimonials From Leaders & Participants

How Walking With Others Works

Each session invites participants to reflect, share, and practice ways of walking with others that are rooted in love, humility, and grace.

  • Groups typically include 4–10 adults led by a VP3-trained leader or facilitator.
  • The process includes 21 sessions that can be completed over 6-8 months, with flexible pacing.
  • Group sessions foster storytelling, honest conversations, and shared learning.
  • Participants are encouraged to engage in mentoring conversations outside the group.

This is a space where adults grow in confidence and competence to walk with others as spiritual companions in everyday life.
