Episode Summary:

We talk about how a mentor can change your life and even help you overcome loneliness. My guest, author and speaker Jayme Hull, shares how her life was changed when she accepted Christ because her church assigned a mentor to her that walked with her and pointed her to Christ. She also shares about her experiences both as a mentee and a mentor and how a mentoring relationship can positively impact your life.

Quotables from the Episode:

• Knowing you need help growing in your faith is the beginning of mentoring.
• A mentor is simply someone who is just a little further along in their Christian walk and is still growing and able to point you to Christ.
• A mentoring relationship discusses how God is showing up in your lives.
• A good mentor is a good listener, encourager, teachable, approachable, and always moving forward and growing.
• Loneliness is what the enemy desires for us. But mentoring can help us overcome loneliness.
• In the absence of a mentor, the Bible tells us that David encouraged himself in the Lord.

Scripture References:

• Psalm 78:4,6-7 NIV “We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders…so the next generation might know them—even the children not yet born—and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.”
• Titus 2:1-8 NIV “As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience. Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God. In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.”
• 1 Thessalonians 5:24 “God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.”
• Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”
