Get some tips on how he uses the pursueGOD.org resources to make disciples, even among millennials.
Key Points:
- Formalizing a mentoring relationship is important. Simply talking about getting together will not establish a functional mentoring relationship. Make sure that you follow through and actually schedule a time to meet or talk.
- Using the pursueGOD tools is a way to formalize the method you use to interact with and teach your mentee. It allows them to then take what you have taught them and mentor others in a way they are familiar with.
- With the variety of topics available on pursueGOD, you can allow the mentoring to be relevant to each individual. They are able to come prepared and after you have built a relationship, you can use the topics and questions to springboard into what is going on in their lives.
- Mentoring does not have to meet a certain time frame. Deep and meaningful conversations can be relatively short and still accomplish a lot. Let the topic and conversation guide the amount of time spent in a meeting.
