If there is one thing I learned from my first mentor, Mike, it is that mentoring and discipleship is something to be done in the context of life and not in a hurry . It was not a box to be checked but time to be set aside . It was an investment of Mike's life into mine and, honestly, as it turns out, an investment of my life into Mikes . Since I experience God differently than Mike, he learned things from me too . It's important to understand that every time you pour your Jesus life into someone else, you will, in return, have their Jesus Life poured into you . This interchange is part of the process of disciple-making . Mentoring with discipleship takes time, but it is an investment that pays lifelong & eternal rewards . Pour your Jesus life into someone and watch them pour back into you . It will change your life for the better.
