Mentor: How Along-the-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life - Leader Kit

Description

Mentor: How Along-the-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life - Leader Kit by Chuck Lawless explores mentoring as a God-given relationship where one growing believer encourages and equips another to reach his or her potential as a disciple. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus and His disciples and Paul and Timothy, Lawless examines the life-transforming process of a mentoring relationship.

This study is both a practical and spiritual guide to biblical mentoring, providing easy-to-model life application for how to have and be a mentor. Lawless combines personal examples from his life with in-depth Bible study and practical how-to's (and how-not-to's) you can apply right away. Mentoring is a vital aspect of true discipleship, and it all begins with a desire to grow. (6 Sessions)

Everyone desires deep, meaningful connection with others. Everyone. But to mentor or be mentored in the Christian context can change the course of your life. Something powerful happens when you do life with someone in a position to spiritually lead and influence you — or when you do the same for others.
