205. What To Do When Your Mentoring Transitions Into Discipleship - Discipleship Top 10

Author: Zach Garza & You Can Mentor: Faith-Based Mentoring for Churches, Non-Profits, Youth Ministers, and Teachers October 12, 2023 Duration: 50:01

As relationships evolve, the roles can change frequently.  Parenting a toddler looks much differently than parenting a teen.  Children oftentimes become the primary caregiver of their aging parents.  The same holds true for mentoring relationships.  What started as a mentor match can evolve into a discipleship relationship for the mentee.  As the mentee is led towards the cross, the mentor is better able to start teaching them how to live a life like Jesus.  In order to do that, however, there are some points to keep in mind.  This week, John and Zach take a rapid-fire approach to discussing the top 10 things to keep in mind as your mentoring relationship transitions into a discipleship relationship.
