Everyone is a Mentor

You! Yes!

1  Thessalonians 5:11  Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.


Take Responsibility for Your Role

Treat everyone as an image bearer of God who is worth your time in that moment. People will see an elitist heart; they will sense if you only talk to them if you have a hidden agenda. I learned that God has a plan in every relationship He puts in my life.


Servant, Minister, Deacon Mentor

Be a servant leader, not just an authority leader.

2 Timothy 2:23-24  Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.  24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.


Create Stages for Others

Mentors create stages for others to do well. 

Jesus himself said to his disciples, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all”  (Mark 9:35).  People sense if you have their best interest in mind or your own.


Attitude of Recruitment

Recruit everyone, but when you find leaders, train them well. 

Leaders are the key to building anything sustainable. If you want to build a movement, look for leaders and give them the encouragement they need to succeed.


Reproducible Touch Points

See their role in creating reproducible knowledge, habits, and sharing.  

Mentors need knowledge of what Christianity actually is about. Your training at CLI is great training for being a mentor!


Recognize Growth

When someone does well, say so. Be real about this, do not err on the stingy side of encouragement. 

Philippians 3:17   Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.


See Potential 

At Christian Leaders Institute, we are trying to allow leaders and potential leaders to get their ministry training to become Christian leaders in their calling at little cost, so that everyone who is called gets an opportunity.
