What is mentoring and why is it important?

The Spacious Place, with Kari Levang - A podcast by Kari Levang - Tuesdays

The dictionary describes a mentor as a trusted counselor or guide. A tutor or a coach. The Bible communicates it as a relationship that is honest, deeply connected and directed towards Jesus, with one another. In this episode I’ll share how walking closely with another has not only enriched my life and made me better, in so many ways, but how this relationship was not intended to end with me. Its very purpose is to be given away. That’s what mentoring is all about—-giving of yourself, for the goodness of another’s benefit.… And in the process there’s blessing for both. It morphs into mutuality, when entered into by two people who are willing to learn and grow….be uncomfortable at times, and take massive risks. Join me as I share what mentoring is and what it isn’t.
