Spiritual Companioning: What Shall We Talk About?

People who are new to spiritual companioning sometimes ask, “What will we talk about?” Topics are up to the individual, but here are some questions that may arise:

• When have you felt nearest to or farthest from God, the divine, or the sacred?

• Where do you find meaning in your life? Where is it missing?

• How does God want to help you in a difficult situation you are facing? Do you have a sense of what you might need from God right now?

• What is prayer like for you? How might you deepen your prayer life?

• Do you have a connection with the sacred or a relationship with God? What’s it like? What kind of connection or relationship would you like to have?

• Which possible decision among various options would be most fitting for who you truly are?

• Is there something about God or your spiritual community that troubles you?

• Do you have concerns about a pattern of your behavior or thoughts?

• What spiritual practices do you find helpful? Would you like to learn some new ones?
