Notes
Overview of Radical Mentoring:
- Holding men to a higher commitment in regard to their faith
- 12-month mentoring season with a deep commitment, 3 hours per month
- Creating a process for other organizations to use as a plan for mentoring/discipleship
- If men are known, the conversations flow much more easily
- Created as a supplemental resource and guide
- Important for people to continue to regular groups
How can a church implement this?
- Start slow: broad advertisement could water it down
- Not exclusive, but created through “shoulder-touch” involvement (inviting people personally)
- Referral process once people who have gone through the mentoring
How can this apply and how does it impact Family Ministry?
- Benefits the “dads” within the church
- Churches that are “growing young” are placing key discipleship-focused relationships in the lives of the next generation
- Mentoring = Discipleship
