from Own Your Identity · host Jason Mellard

What if the best time to adopt a mentor mindset is when you feel least qualified?Most of us think of mentors as successful, confident people who have already overcome life's challenges. But what if one of the most powerful things you could do in a difficult season is spend two minutes a day thinking like a future guide?In this episode, I share a vulnerable story from my final semester of college when I landed in the emergency room after a nervous breakdown. Looking back, I believe adopting a mentor mindset—even for a few minutes a day—could have changed the way I walked through that season.You'll learn:• Why your current struggle may matter more than you think• How a mentor mindset creates hope in the middle of pain• Six things every mentor believes• Why God often uses our hardest experiences to prepare us to help others• Three practical tools for developing a mentor mindset todayWhether you're navigating same-sex attraction, loneliness, divorce, rejection, a faith crisis, pornography recovery, or simply a season that doesn't make sense, this episode will challenge you to stop asking only, "How do I get through this?" and start asking, "What am I learning that might help someone else someday?"Because your story isn't over. And someone needs the wisdom you're gaining right now.🌐 Do you feel like SSA is bigger than you? Take SSAquiz: https://ownyouridentitynow.com/ssaquiz/🤝 Interested in coaching?
