If you look in the Bible, there isn't one mention of the word "mentor". However, you can find the word "discipleship" all over the place. As Christians, we're called to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20) But, if you look at mentorship and discipleship, aren't they really just two words that mean the same thing? After all, both involve life on life and a younger person learning from an older, wiser influence. So, is it just semantics? Join John and Zach this week as they pontificate about the similarities and differences of mentorship versus discipleship, what it means to be a faith-based mentor, and how we can be more intentional about discipling within our mentoring relationships.
