Mentorship

Part of growing your mind comes from seeking the wise counsel of others.

Who you allow to speak into your life is vitally important. In Proverbs 13:20, we see that if we walk with the wise, we will become wise. Examine your sphere of influence and identify those who embody and demonstrate wisdom. Then, step out of your comfort zone and take the initiative to seek out their guidance.

You will be able to discern whether someone is wise by the fruit that they bear. By fruit, we mean the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Those attributes should be prevalent in the life of a Godly man.

Once you identify the fruit, act and ask them to provide guidance in your journey. Most wise men will welcome the opportunity to share their wisdom. You must be proactive and get out of your comfort zone by asking for help. Seeking out mentors is a key step in your growth as a strong Lion.

Question to Consider

1. Who are the wise mentors you have speaking into your life today?
2. Who can you mentor that is not as far along in their Christian walk as you?
3. What actions will you commit to today to be the leader God intends you to be?
