Identity-Based vs. Skill-Based Mentoring“Just like a good tool doesn’t make you a handy man. Knowing skills alone doesn’t fulfill your mentee’s potential” Skill-based mentoring usually goes like this: Think of things you think your mentee should knowShake a hand, tie a tie, resume, etc…Teach them these thingsHope they use them to reach their full-potential--Skill-based mentoring is good, but I believe it is secondary to Identity-based mentoringSkills are no good if you’re mentee

The greatest gift you can give your mentee is your time. Mentoring isn't about coming in, teaching somebody some life skills, and moving on. Mentees are not "projects". Mentoring is about relationships. It's about coming in, pouring your wisdom and knowledge into somebody, and continuing to guide them through the next stage of their life. While often that relationship is for a season, the impact of that relationship is for a lifetime; because relationships change lives. The time you

Mentoring can come in all shapes and sizes. It can come when it's least expected or it can be intentionally sought out by either the mentor or the mentee. It can be as simple as meeting intentionally with a student in your neighborhood on a regular basis, or partnering with a local non-profit mentoring organization to pour into one or more students at the same time. Each mentoring relationship is unique, but the specific type of mentoring relationship tends to have similar

Everybody has a unique personality. Their life experiences, worldview, and socioeconomic status influence how they interact with other people and relate to one another. That personality in turn affects how a mentor interacts with their mentee: their "style" of mentoring. Some are encouragers. Some are challengers. Some are networkers. There's many different styles of mentoring, and they each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. This week, Zach and John hop on the pod to

Every mentor has a different story. They come from different backgrounds, experience different things in life, and can bring unique elements to the table in a mentoring relationship. The organization they get plugged into for support also affects the ways in which they mentor through different trainings, mentoring philosophies, and equipping.

Effective mentoring means being in it for the long haul. It means continuing to show up and pour into the mentee, even through the hard times, offense, and dry spells. It means doing whatever it takes to meet the needs of the mentee. Mentoring well means showing constant, sacrificial, self-less love for the mentee. But effective mentoring is also draining. Continually showing up like that can drain everything you have; especially when you don't feel like you're starting to see any

Offense, or taking things personally, is one of the most common tactics the Enemy uses to tear down relationships. When somebody feels hurt in a relationship, their tendency is to pull away and isolate, which then leads to an even greater rift between the two parties. This is true for all relationships, but mentoring relationships have the tendency to experience this on a much more frequent scale. Oftentimes, the mentee is testing the relationship to see exactly how much the mentor will

Most mentoring relationships come to an end at some point. Life circumstances change, you or your mentee move away, or some other event occurs that makes it impossible to continue the formal mentoring relationship in the same way. In doing so, however, ending a mentoring relationship can be a challenge, especially when the mentee has a history of struggling with feelings of abandonment. You, as the mentor, become just another person in a long list of people who have abandoned them. So

Everybody has a story to tell. They have a past, a present, and a future. They have significant elements to their story that shapes them into who they are today. Telling that story, however, isn't always easy. Sometimes those elements include trauma or suppressed memories. Even so, your testimony is a powerful tool. Through it, healing can come to others who have gone through similar experiences; especially if you have already received that healing. This week, Kevin Harris from

As relationships evolve, the roles can change frequently. Parenting a toddler looks much differently than parenting a teen. Children oftentimes become the primary caregiver of their aging parents. The same holds true for mentoring relationships. What started as a mentor match can evolve into a discipleship relationship for the mentee. As the mentee is led towards the cross, the mentor is better able to start teaching them how to live a life like Jesus. In order to do that, however,

2023/10/05

If you look in the Bible, there isn't one mention of the word "mentor". However, you can find the word "discipleship" all over the place. As Christians, we're called to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20) But, if you look at mentorship and discipleship, aren't they really just two words that mean the same thing? After all, both
