Thoughts on mentoring
Right now, part of my calling is to mentor emerging leaders.
It seems strange since I always assumed that offering guidance to younger people would come when I was much older, at least after I turned thirty-five.
Instead, I’ve been watching a few twenty-somethings hovering around wondering if I might be able to invest a bit of my life in them.
It’s part of the reason why I love teaching at the college. It’s also part of the reason Erika and I are looking for new ways to get a little closer to some post-adolescents, especially those who are sensing God’s call toward pastoral ministry.
So, whether formally or informally, I’m committed to enter the life chaos of those Jesus followers, especially twenty-somethings, who are walking the road toward Christian maturity.
