We're taught by our culture that we should be self-sufficient. But God never designed us to do life alone. Elijah's struggles in the wake of his victory at Mt. Carmel demonstrate that the answer to our sense of hopelessness isn't more God-moments; it's others to share our journey with. We should look for those who are Before, Beside and Behind us. We'll call these intentional, life-giving relationships "mentoring relationships". Welcome to The Mentorist!

In a world increasingly divided and hopeless, even something as simple as respectful disagreement seems impossible. But the prophets who taught Israel how to long for the birth of the Messiah made bold promises: weapons formed into gardening tools; wolves and sheep living in harmony; deserts blooming. Such promises seem impossible – like pure imaginative fiction. But God’s promises aren’t fiction. They’re a future God is bringing into existence. Jesus birth proves God is with us, that God is working. We can have purified imaginations, see the world as it will be, and begin to work for that world now. What does it mean to be a people of Advent?
