The Prophetic Space of Mentoring

Wisdom not of this world. And a road I can walk with you.

Come in

Word for today · Thursday, 13 August

„As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.”

Psalm 42:1

Longing is not a weakness. It is a compass. Iza

It saves as an image — set it as a wallpaper or send it to someone.

An invitation

Hello, I'm Iza

Welcome to my space of prophetic mentoring — the place I have moved in for years in my work with people.

What you will find here is Wisdom not of this world, and a road along which I can walk beside you. By its very nature this is a prophetic space, and it speaks through the Word, through conversation, through art and through work.

If you are looking for inspiration, for Wisdom, for a way forward and for hope filled with Love — I am here for you. Come in, make yourself comfortable, sit down by the fireplace of this little corner of the internet and warm yourself in the One Fire. Let yourself be warmed by a Love greater than any we can give ourselves.

Iza

Priest · King · Prophet

What is the Prophetic Space?

In the New Testament, Jesus fulfilled a threefold mission on earth: as Priest, King and Prophet. Through Him we share in that as the Church. That mission is given to each of us in all three dimensions — we are invited to be priests and prophets, and to share in the reign of God's Kingdom here on earth, in keeping with His Word.

These three dimensions have a very concrete meaning in our everyday lives.

Priest

Since the Sacrifice of Jesus we can join all our own suffering to His — handing it over to Him and laying on the altar of our hearts everything that causes us pain.

King

Our reigning shows itself in the authority given to us on earth to steward material things: „fill the earth and subdue it". Every day we shape what this world looks like, on the small scale and the large, within whatever sphere of influence we are given.

Prophet

Noticing what God is doing in a person's life and in the space around us — and speaking it out over all creation, so that His Word becomes flesh, becomes reality.

I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already blazing. Luke 12:49
None of this is new

Who needs a coach or a mentor?

It moves me deeply that although the words „coach" and „mentor" did not exist back then, what we do — and not only within the Christian movement — is not new at all.

Both John the Baptist and Jesus were mentor and coach in one. Scripture, and the Old Testament especially, is strewn with wisdom that invites us to come and ask. In earlier times a mentor and coach was simply called a teacher. A Rabbi.

Even the ancient thinkers had crowds of people who gladly came to them looking for wisdom about how to live. Seeking wisdom in that form was a widely respected practice.

The Word of God should have been enough for John the Baptist's disciples too — and yet they followed him, looking for wisdom, looking for the Messiah. As the finest coach and mentor, he pointed them to Jesus and taught them both how to live and how to find Him.

I am not claiming that every mentor or coach is a John the Baptist. But he is worth looking for. Someone in whose company you will bear good fruit — the fruit of your own existence, of your own spirit — and find the living Jesus close to you, in the very places where you have not been able to recognise Him on your own.

Four sources

How I work

A mentor who is aware of this mission and equipped with this gift — combined with a broad understanding of the human being, of psychology and anthropology, together with neuroscience and theology, as in my case — is more than a coach and a guide.

Such a mentor draws on that whole range of gifts in order to walk, together with the One Mentor, the Holy Spirit, towards the fulfilment of the desires God has placed in a person's heart.

Theology

An MA in Theology. The Word of God is the foundation here, not the decoration — and the point we always return to.

Psychology and anthropology

A broad understanding of the human being: how we are made, what blocks us, where the patterns come from that we cannot see in ourselves.

Neuroscience

Changing how you think really does change your life — right down to how the brain works. That is not a metaphor, it is a process.

The Holy Spirit

The One Mentor. Everything else is only a tool in His hands, and that is exactly how I treat it.

How we can work together

Each of these roads begins the same way — with a conversation. You do not have to know in advance exactly what you need.

Mentoring session

A one-to-one meeting. A conversation in which we look for what God is already doing in your life — and what to do with it next.

approx. 60 min · online or in person

Soul coaching

Working with what is happening in the soul: with emotions, wounds, blocks and longings you cannot yet put a name to.

a process · a series of meetings

Spiritual growth

Walking with you on the road of faith — in prayer, in discernment, in listening to the Word and building a living relationship with God.

a process · at your own pace

Growth in work and business

Leading yourself, your work and your resources in keeping with the Gospel. Reigning begins in your own sphere of influence.

approx. 60 min · online or in person

Prophetic art

A space where the Word speaks through image, gesture and making — for those who hear God in ways other than text.

a meeting or a workshop

Walking together over time

The longer road — regular meetings over an agreed period, for when change asks not for one conversation but for faithfulness.

a series · arranged individually

Write to me A short discernment

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. 1 Thessalonians 5:19–20
Four steps

How it works

Write

Fill in the form and describe in a few sentences what brings you here. It does not have to sound polished — honest is enough.

A first conversation

A short, free conversation so that we can both see whether this is a good road for you, and whether you want to walk it with me.

Sessions

We meet online or in person, at a rhythm that serves you. You set the pace — I keep watch over the direction.

Fruit

There is one goal: that you bear the good fruit of your own existence and find the living Jesus close to you — including where you have not been able to recognise Him before.

Who it is for

This space is for you if…

  • You are looking for inspiration and Wisdom You sense that the answers you already have have stopped being enough.
  • You want to live the Gospel concretely Not only on Sunday, but at work, at home, in your decisions, in your money.
  • You sense God is doing something in you But you need someone to help you name it and put it in order.
  • You are at a turning point A new job, a crisis, a loss, a new stage — and you need a companion, not an adviser.
  • You have a gift that frightens you Prophetic discernment, sensitivity, spiritual intuition — and you do not know what to do with it.
  • You simply want to be warmed Because the Love you are looking for is greater than anything we can give ourselves.
