One day a friend of mine called me and said "Jim, I have been trying to mentor and disciple my friend for 2 years now . He is hopeless . Maybe He will listen to you." That was almost 10 years ago now . My new mentee was not a believer yet, was struggling with issues from the battlefield that impacted his marriage, and was very skeptical of church culture . For 3 years, we wrestled about faith topics in person, by phone, and by text . Finally, he surrendered his life to Jesus, which is hard for war vets to do, and then the real work began . For the next 7 years, we read and studied the Bible together, discussing family, work, faith, and parenting issues . Today he is challenging me with things about my faith . God has worked a miracle . Mentoring this young man has made a difference for eternity . Pour your Jesus Life into someone today.
