How to choose a right mentor according to the bible?
Answers
Over the years, I've had some incredible mentors in my life—people who've spoken words of wisdom and guidance into my marriage, finances, personal life and ministry.
These people have left me wonderstruck by the richness they've added to my life. But to be honest, finding such people hasn't been easy. At times, I've reached out to people I hoped would become mentors who didn't respond, didn't have time or didn't particularly connect with the idea.
Other times, I've waited for people to reach out to me, even dropping hints along the way, but the relationship never developed. But developing healthy relationships with older, wiser believers as well as those who are younger than us is important to our spiritual journeys.
Here are 10 tips I've discovered to searching for and finding the perfect mentor:
1. Reconsider the meaning of "mentor."
One of the great challenges of mentoring is that the word "mentor" means something different to everyone. Some people think of a mentor as a sage who answers life's toughest questions. Others search for a mentor who's more like a best friend. Still others are looking for a business or life coach.
Rather than use the word mentor when approaching someone, consider simply asking someone to lunch to build a friendship. Often these efforts produce a more natural relationship and provide time for prayerfully considering if he or she is someone from whom you want to learn.
2. Consider what you want in a mentor.
Sometimes mentoring relationships don't develop beyond a quick coffee because mentees don't really know what they want.
Are you looking for someone to pray for you? A cheerleader? A life coach? A Bible study partner? An older friend?
Begin by asking yourself these questions: In what area of your life do you most want to grow? Then make a list: Who are some of the people who can offer the most information and experience in helping you get there? When you know what you want, you'll be better equipped to approach the right person.
