: The following is a excerpt from Kim Winters’ blog, who was an influential mentor in my life, and the link to the full article.
Being a mentor can be a rewarding and fruitful experience – a chance to participate in the awesome sanctification adventure of another believer - an opportunity to grow as a leader and impact the life of someone who needs you. But it can also be a frustrating experience – a time of little or no fruit that leaves you doubting, confused and discouraged. What makes the difference between discipleship that ROCKS, and discipleship that ROTS?
The following article is based on a talk given to some high school youth leaders. These are the ten basic elements that I believe should be a part of healthy, good, vibrant discipleship relationships. Obviously there is more to discipleship than this article, but not less! It’s my hope you’ll find something here to inspire, motivate and encourage you in your various discipleship/mentoring relationships.
