Disciple-Making Steps Series: Finding a Mentor/Discipler

GENERAL NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 2020

Dear Ed Many pastors and leaders can’t find a mentor. They’ve tried and given up. Others have tried and found someone and not felt the effort was worth it. Yet others have grown with their mentors, reached their level or learned what they could and stopped because life and grace didn’t continue to flow. What can you do when you know you need a mentor and can’t find one? Matthew 7:7-8 assures us that if we ask, seek or knock, we will receive. A key in understanding this is that those three verbs in the Greek are continuous imperatives. We often don’t receive what we ask for because we just throw something out there as a kind of hope or wish. We need to ask and persevere in asking and in following through on our asking. That applies deeply to finding a mentor or discipler.  FIND OUT MORE ABOUT FINDING A MENTOR/DISCIPLER AND KEY QUESTIONS FOR DISCIPLE MAKERS HERE DOWNLOAD THE EDITABLE ARTICLE HERE

DISCIPLE-MAKING STEPS SERIES

Above is the fourth article on practical disciple-making. The first article, First Steps in Disciple-Making, focuses on 1) foundational definitions of a disciple and discipler; 2) the value of multiple models, not falling into the tyranny of thinking there is one right model; and 3) recognizing that selection involves some “chemistry” and divine direction. The second article gives an underlying biblical vision for a disciple-making church and goes on to look at five selection processes that Jesus used and possible selection criteria. The third article features microgroups as a model that integrates many disciple-making principles exceptionally well and the critical role of pruning our lives to make space for being discipled and discipling.  Find out the previous articles below:
