Can I do it?  \nFS Step 5: We broke the power of shame by confessing to God and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs, the lies we believed and secrets we vowed to take to the grave.  \nfinding healing through discipleship  \nA Freedom Session participant asked if you would be his/her Sponsor. This means they have recently completed Session 7 of a 20 week discipleship program and need to develop their support team. Thankyou for considering their request.  \nA Sponsor IS:  \n! …a type of mentor or coach, committed to helping a FS participant walk through Steps 5-9 of their healing journey.  \n! …authentic & trustworthy. They understand confidentiality.  \n! …walking in a reasonable measure of freedom themselves  \n! …available. Potential sponsors should count on 2-3 meetings lasting 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours each over a 6 week time period.  \nA Sponsor is NOT:  \n! …a therapist, a counselor, a best friend or life-long mentor.  \nWhat does a FS Sponsor DO?  \n! The key role of a FS Sponsor is to listen to a FS Participant“confess” their story (Step 5) in a spirit of love, acceptance and support. This will break the power of shame and free them from a number of lies they have believed about themselves.  \n! After hearing their story, you will pray for, support and encourage your Sponsee as they complete the FS journey.  \n! If you see any patterns or recurring themes in their lives, you may want to bring them to your Sponsee’s attention.  \nYour Sponsee will initiate and lead through the following meetings.  \n! Meeting \\#1: is for your Sponsee to hear your story and you to hear theirs in brief. They will also share their Strengths Inventory with you. As in all four of the inventories, they are instructed to read their inventories off from left to right.  \n(note: meetings 1 & 2 may be combined)  \n! Meeting \\#2: your Sponsee will read off their “Mirror” Inventoryin which they have chronicled all the ways others have hurt them and how it has affected their lives. It is important to listen carefully to them, realizing they may be telling you things they’ve not told another human being.  \nLet them know you are proud of them, affirm them and pray for them. Even though these are things done to them, many who’ve lived in shame will be expecting you to think less of them. You have the opportunity to dispel that deception with love.  \nMeeting \\#3 (and possibly 4): your Sponsee will read off their Shield Inventory in which they list all the ways they’ve hurt others. They are taking responsibility for their sins and may be admitting some very shameful deeds. Again, your role is to listen carefully without shock, disbelief or disgust. This “confession” and your support will help break the lie they believe that they need to portray themselves as someone they are not.  \nThey will also read off their Closet Inventory which includes the memories/deeds they were too ashamed to write down at first. These guilt/shame associated memories are often ones they intended to take to their graves. The above inventory“confessions”(Meetings 1-3) complete Step 5 for your Sponsee.
