Find a Christian Mentor

Are you craving a mentor?

Do you wish someone would come alongside you and invest in your life?

Well, you’re not alone. And the good news is that there is a good chance that a mentor is in arms reach if you know what to look for and are willing to receive the gift of a mentor in a way that you might not have thought of before.

A Christian mentor is simply someone committed to offering to you love, guidance, support, and accountability, all founded on Biblical truth, as you journey through life. 

4 Steps You Can Take to Find a Mentor

So can you think of at least one person that has shown that kind of interest in you? Maybe they don’t carry the title or meet with you weekly, but as you look at your interactions, do you see how they may be just the mentor God had in mind for you? If you are feeling lost and yearning for some Biblical wisdom and accountability, taking these four steps can help you find a mentor.

Four Steps You Can Take to Find a Mentor

Finding a mentor may be easier than you expect, as long as you know what to look for and are ready to receive what God has for you. So, start that preparation process by:

Step 1: Pray for Sight

Take time to speak with the Lord about why you’d like a mentor and what you hope to gain from the relationship. Ask Him to reveal to you just the kind of woman who is living out her faith according to Biblical principles, evidenced by how she spends her time and resources (Matthew 6:21), and revealed by what comes out of her mouth (Matthew 12:34).  She needs to be more than just a Sunday-church-going, Christian-by-religious-label woman, for if she isn’t living out the disciplines of her faith (for example, study of Scripture, quiet time, prayer, service, worship) in her private life, she won’t be able to encourage you in yours without feeling like a hypocrite. Sometimes the nicest people make the worst mentors because they are too afraid of holding you accountable, so ask God to show you a mentor who is not afraid of offending you by asking straight questions and calling you on your lazy or conniving ways.

Step 2: Consider Your Expectations

Take time to figure out why you want to have a mentor. Write down a list of what you’d like to learn, how you’d like to be guided, and how much time you want to devote to the relationship on a regular basis. Also, have a period of time in mind, such as 3 months or 6 months. Once you find a mentor, you can share these things with her and see if she is the right fit.

Step 3: Wait, Watch, and Prepare

Wait on God while you watch for the people He has put in your life to see if there is a natural fit already in place. You can  also prepare to be in a healthy place to be mentored by enrolling in the Impact Mentoring Training Course, which will help you grow spiritually and understand exactly what you need to look for in a mentor.

Step 4: Ask

Have you found that gal you’d like to have mentor you? Great, now all you have to do is ask her. Share with her why you thought of her as a possible fit, but also give her time to think, pray, and respond. Suggest she can get back to you in a week or so. You may also direct her to our mentor training if she feels insecure. Be sure to be praying for God to confirm, guide, and redirect, if necessary.

A mentoring relationship takes time and dedication. It requires a commitment and sacrifice, along with a bit bravery! As you seek out a mentor, may God make your heart willing to receive what He has for you. He may intend to fill your life with a circle of mentors or one gal that can fulfill that role in this season in your life.

May God answer your prayers for a mentor!
