Empowering Your Team to Mentor and Lead as Disciple Makers

Episode Summary 

In this episode of "No More Silos," we dive into the concepts of mentoring and disciple-making. We explore how these two processes overlap and differ, focusing on their relational and developmental aspects. Discover how you can adapt the language of mentorship to engage new believers and nonbelievers, turning mentorship into a bridge to discipleship. 

Key Takeaways 

• Investing in Others: Both mentoring and disciple-making require a commitment to helping individuals grow, whether in their careers or faith journeys. 
• Modeling Behavior: Mentors set examples in their fields, while disciple-makers reflect the character and teachings of Jesus. 
• Transactional vs. Transformational: Mentoring often has a defined end point, whereas disciple-making is an ongoing, transformative process aimed at spiritual maturity and multiplying disciples. 
• Adapting Language: Using mentorship language can make discipleship more accessible and less intimidating to those outside the church. 
• Creating Entry Points: Mentorship in life skills can open doors to spiritual conversations and eventually lead to sharing the gospel.
