About Us
Mentoring Sacred Arts is committed to building the DNA of Jesus-like discipleship into your life, and then commissioning you as a Qualified Mentor (QM)who can multiply Jesus' Kingdom by passing it forward to all those your life touches.
When the original band of Disciples heard Jesus’ commission to “make disciples”, they knew exactly what he meant. Their personal experience with Jesus involved three years of very close relationship. They observed the daily practices that were part of His relationship with the Heavenly Father. He modeled a lifestyle of Surrendering, Humbling, Abiding, Waiting, and Listening (S.H.A.W.L)… what we affectionately call SACRED ARTS. And He equipped them to follow His example so they would be able to experience a life of Abiding in Him, the True Vine (John 15).

Carlo, you have found a gold mine for spiritual formation and mentoring in the timeless teachings of Andrew Murray and other key influencers of antiquity. Your integration of their vision in the Sacred Arts Series is valid, creative and very promising for spirituality and discipleship.

Adult Ministries Director (Retired), Sunrise Community Church (Fair Oaks, California)
OK, so I started the morning before arriving at the Encounter Lab feeling agitated of soul, thinking of so many things I needed to get done and follow-up on. As I was driving over to the retreat center I told the Lord I would trust Him to take care of what was concerning me.
A word that kept coming to me was “gift.” When we started the Encounter Lab readings, what do I keep coming across but “gift.” This day and time was a gift from the Lord. As I settled in to the Lab exercises and still moments, I began to sense more soothing of soul.
As I’ve reflected on the day, I had an “ah-ha” moment of understanding more about “Surrendering.” I realized that the volitional act of giving my day and concerns to Him (and not taking it back when I was tempted to), freed me up to spend the kind of quality time with Him that I want to have every day of my life!
By the afternoon I no longer had the temptation to check my phone or worry about what needed to get done. WHY do I keep surrendering to the tyranny of the urgent instead of to Christ???!!! Slow learner… still learning about Surrendering…

Director of Counseling Ministries at Bayside Church in Granite Bay, California
The Shepherd of my soul sometimes manifests Himself in very clear and tangible ways. I have come to understand that meeting Carlo was a tangible work of the Good Shepherd.
He walked into my office and greeted me with the grace and love of a friend and a father. Carlo invited me to join a group of youth pastors on a journey to learn the Sacred Art of Abiding in Christ. I am convinced that those months together have defined my ministry as a pastor and ministry leader for the years to come.
I was exposed to some of the most cutting and healing works that I have ever read in Andrew Murray’s Abiding in Christ. I came to know the power of resting in Christ in a whole new way.

Tech & Web Developer, Pleasant Grove, Utah
After going through the Abiding Guide with Dr. Carlo Walth, I cannot share enough about how valuable I believe this material was to my relationship with Jesus. As I entered into this study, I was challenged to seek a deeper abiding connection with Him.
Carlo’s teaching on spiritual practices has helped me change my attitude and outlook on how I need to pursue Jesus. I have found new ways to connect with Christ and to be reminded of His presence. The intertwining of Andrew Murray’s profound words with guidance into new and unique spiritual practices is resulting in much fruit.

Talent Recruiter, Redding, California
Intentional mentoring in the Sacred Arts Series has helped me to grow in my understanding and experience of a deep personal relationship with the Lord. Much of my Christian walk has been lived looking back on all that the Lord had saved me from. I was living my Christian life out of a deep gratitude for His forgiving grace. I have also been focused on the Kingdom to come.
Being mentored in Surrendering, Humbling, and Abiding is helping me to go deeper with Encountering Jesus on a daily basis… experiencing His love and presence here and now.
In many ways I believe the focus on Sacred Arts has opened up my spiritual life. I feel like I have moved from a shallow and narrow experience of Christ to a deep and wide relationship with the ever present person of Jesus. Learning to abide in Christ has transformed my walk and will continue to shape and influence my walk with the Lord.
