Introduction Who mentors me and who do I mentor? I personally have had a lot of good mentors in my life. These men have spoken truth in my life. They have shown me what it means to be a Christian man. One person that comes to my mind that has taken time out of his life guide me to be my friend Ron Grace. Ron is much older and wiser than me. He’s been a Christian longer than I have been alive. He and his wife always pray for me that God will show me what he has in store for me. Another mentor that I have would be my coach, Adam parent. Coach showed me the joys of ministry and gave me the opportunity to do ministry. And even though we live hundreds of miles apart he still encourages me every day. He sends me a text every day encouraged …show more content…
I’ve always known that people are sinners and that we all have fallen short of the glory of God. But never really thought about the aspect of the people who are failed as good mentors. We talked about a question of at what point do we say that someone is no longer good mentor? And that answer is personal no one can tell you one way or another. But we need broken people, people and have failed before us. These people put up the road signs telling us don’t fall off the cliff. Police people help us learn and live a morally and Christian life. How does this new learning deepening my understanding of the role of a Christian in the contemporary world? I have kind of already said it, Christians are just as falling and sinful as any other person. But this doesn’t exclude us from being a good mentor. We help the next generation learn from our past failures. Kind of like the first person to use poison ivy as toilet paper probably didn’t feel good. But if he didn’t share his experience with the next person then they also probably didn’t feel very …show more content…
Yancey talks about broken people becoming the hands and feet of Christ. Being the mentors for the next generation. So I agree with everything he says
The Bible is full of broken and sinful people that God used for his glory. David a man after God’s own heart, was a lustful fornicator murderer. But God still used him, bringing Jesus from the line of David. Noah the man that God started new with, was a drunkard. Sampson the strongest man in the Bible, fell prey to lust. Solomon the most wise man in the entire Bible, didn’t live the best lifestyle. Rahab a prostitute, God used her to help liberate the land that God had given the Israelites. There is many more examples of God using sinful people in order to do his work.
How does this impact my faith? I think if God can use sinful broken adulterers, he can use me a sinner to do the work that he has entrusted me to do.
A mentor is a trusted guide who shows you the way in life. Through the mentors of Pi and Antonio, they help save and point them to the right way in life. In the novel Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, Ultima shows Tony that good can always overcome evil, no matter how evil it may be. Life of Pi by Yann Martel, shows that Pi can face his fears by the help of a big Bengal tiger in a small boat, and that the littlest things in life can change the course of how your destiny awaits.
Police officers are like guardian angels watching over the good people of the land, protecting them from danger.
The Mentor is a character created to guide the Hero via protection and wisdom. This character leads to the success of the Hero (AN). In Harry Potter Albus Dumbledore acts as a mentor to the hero Harry Potter by giving advice about the Mirror of Erised, and not to dwell on it’s visions. (HP pg.213), giving Harry

possession of men and would have to endure childbearing pains. The man’s punishment entailed manual labor for the rest of his life and that he was to be considered impure (Genesis 3).
I have been a mentee in three mentoring programs and I understand from firsthand experience how important mentors have been in my life. Each relationship was very different; one of my mentors was about two generations older than me, while my two more recent mentors have been only a few years older than me.
People in this category are the wise mentors. These have directory of many associates who always introduce to new people for new thoughts and new directions (Robert & Regina, 2011).
“Organizational Management & Leadership A Christian Perspective” defines a mentor as “individuals that provide career guidance, advice, help with obstacles along the way and can explain off culture and politics or give insight into how to make a presentation to different managers within the organization.”
In every book or movie with a goal you will find a mentor along the way. I have gone back to some of my favorite movies and seen the mentors in the movie. In Blazing Saddles the mentor Jim helps Bart achieve the goal of saving his town from the bounty hunters. In the movie Trading places Billy was an inner mentor at the same time as being a hero. Mentors are also presented in books such as the Hunger games. Every movie or book has at least 1 thing in common, every single one has a mentor who helps the hero. Even if it is hard to find the mentor or they don’t appear in the film more then once they are still considered a mentor. The mentor archetype as a whole is presented in every person today. Whether you gave someone the advice to go cheat on a test or you gave them the advice or training to fight crime, you are being a mentor either way. Take a moment and think about a time you gave someone advice on something because you were using them to get something bigger. That would be an example of a dark mentor because you are using the hero to get what you want. An example of a mentor we use everyday is an inner mentor, the foods you choose to eat, the homework you choose to do, or the test you choose the study for are all examples of an inner
Summer vacation, and school ends for about three months, and then you have as much fun as you can, then back to school… right? Well I had to go to summer school, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything was going fine, I had a job after summer school, and that was going fine as well. They say that summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, and it usually is for me and my family. However in July my father started coughing up blood. My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.
Now, let me move on. It's not only about being mentored; it's about mentoring. There's a specific kind of man you have to be pouring into (to invest in his development). I’m talking about a faithful man. First, you have to be faithful before you start talking to another man about being faithful.
There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
As a result, doesn’t this contradict the central message? We are told that his good deeds are very weak, as they cannot “stand” and
Many young people just need to be motivated and given a fair chance at success. Young people need mentors to help them find their way and to help them stay focused. Mentors play an intricate roll in your lives and are sort of liaisons between your parents or guardians and your educators.
