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.
