Your Mentorship

What is Mentorship?

“Above all else, love each other deeply…”
–1 Peter 4:8 NIV

 “As iron sharpens iron, so one friend sharpens another.”
– Proverbs 27:17 NLT

“Mentoring is a relational experience in which
one person empowers another by sharing God-given resources.”
– Paul Stanley & J.R. Clinton

Mentoring is composed of conversation, encouragement, instruction, advice and accountability. Mentoring is related to the Biblical notions of discipling, nurturing, teaching, training and equipping.

Mentorship is love in action.

If you don’t already have a mentor, could you ask someone to mentor you?

THE MENTOR

Is willing to volunteer time and energy to invest in the mentorship relationship
Sets clear goals
Gives and receives appropriate feedback

THE MENTEE

Is teachable and open to learn new things
Is willing to work towards positive change in their own lives

THE MENTORSHIP PROCESS

  1. Establish Goals – Write out holistic goals (work, relationships, spiritual vitality and physical health)

  2. Move Forward – Meet regularly

  3. Reflect-Read the Bible, pray together and talk about growth

 

Are you currently being mentored by someone? Why? Why not?

May all the parts of your life play together beautifully this fall as you set goals to flourish in all aspects of your life!

Love,
Kaitlyn
