Definitions for "Shepherding"
An relationship in which an experienced Christian, a shepherd, is selected to supervise a new convert. In some denominations, the senior person closely controls almost every aspect of the convert's life. This has major potential to generate spiritual abuse.
The gift of Shepherding is the special ability God gives to certain members of the body of Christ to support, encourage and nourish people's spiritual development. (see Ephesians 4:11-14, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Jn. 10:1-18, 1 Peter 5:1-3)
