The scariest monsters are those that come from within!

The Mentorist

What if the answers to many of our life questions aren't found in another book, but in the experience of those who have walked our path Before us? The account of Paul and Barnabas' trip through Lystra in Acts 14 indicates that even Paul himself was mentored. What does it look like to be a good mentee?

From Series: "The Mentorist"

We're taught by our culture that we should be self-sufficient. But God never designed us to do life alone. We don't find success in chasing one more God-moment. Rather, we should look for those who are Before, Beside and Behind us. We'll call these intentional, life-giving relationships "mentoring relationships". What do these relationships look like? How can we foster them in our daily lives? Welcome to The Mentorist!

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
