Lessons Learned From Mentoring

Jesus lived among us. He taught us. But more importantly, he exampled for us "the way." Now we have a chance to follow His lead. But how? In this episode of Breaking Bread, Katie Miller and Marcia Koch share their top three lessons learned from mentoring others. Notes: · Mentoring is more relational than educational. o Be vulnerable and trustworthy. · Everyone is unique. o Be careful not to over generalize. · The cross of Christ is central. o Everybody in every situation can be pointed to the cross. · The "self-talk" that people are saying to themselves matters. o Listen for lies. · Good questions are key. o Assume you don't know and ask. Assume you still don't know and clarify. · Regularity is more important than frequency. o Be there. · People are more than their issues. o Relate to people on a variety of levels. · The Holy Spirit is the change-agent. o Pray with people.
