Why be Mentored?

Mentoring ARM Style

The base of our mentorship is based on Jesus’ ministry while on earth. Mentoring is, at its core, helping a person make sense of his life. In the Spiritual realm, mentoring helps a person make sense of his life as he lives under God.

The process that Jesus took His own 12 disciples through can be broken down into three phases to be more easily analyzed. First Jesus merely gathered followers. Eventually, the disciples were brought to the point where they needed to make a decision to continue following Jesus or not. After that pivotal decision, Jesus began developing the disciples to do ministry on their own under His guidance. Finally, upon Christ’s resurrection He initiated the third and final stage by commanding to the disciples to duplicate themselves. The name for each stage being discussed is adapted from Bill Hull’s writing on disciple making.

Why Be Mentored?

It provides accountability: today’s cultural environment provides many land mines and diversions. It is not difficult for the enemy to attempt to derail someone who earnestly desires to deepen their relationship with God. Consequently having a mentor accountability partner is an invaluable benefit for asking tough questions, heading off danger, and derailing diversions. Samuel and Saul (1 Sam. 9-15)

Available in times of crisis: the Bible is clear that we will experience trials in our lives. We do not know when, their nature, duration, or depth but they will come. Mentors provide a tremendous benefit to those mentored as they experience trials in their lives. Mentors help mentees understand God’s ways and purposes in difficult times; provide counsel and help to navigate through times of crisis; and provide comfort and stability from a trusted relationship. (Paul and Silas Acts 16)

Helps establish and achieve goals: mentees provide valuable advice and objective input as personal and spiritual goals are thought through and established. Once established mentors can then help to monitor, suggest adjustments, and counsel along the way as needed. The real benefit in these areas is helping ensure that the balance of personal and spiritual goals is appropriate, e.g. keeping God as the central focus and priority, ensuring that the mentees spiritual growth pattern is not disrupted by other pursuits. (Paul and Timothy 1 & 2 Timothy)
