Stop right now and take a moment, do any of you have a person you go to when you need council, when life is hard, when you have questions, or when you just need someone to listen? On today's episode Seth and Allie talk about the importance of a mentor, what you should look for in a mentor, and how to go about finding one. We were not meant to live life alone, we were meant for discipleship/mentorship! Do you have a mentor? How did you find them? How have they shaped you spiritually? We would love to know! Why you will benefit from having a mentor: They have already experienced the season of life that you are in and approach that season with a different perspective.  They have an outside perspective on things. They can spot red flags that you can't see.  They are more spirituality mature and more experienced in life. They will hold you accountable. A Protection or a Safehaven. How to find a mentor? Look for someone from your church. Ask a small group leader or if you can't find or don't know anyone, ask a pastor. Be Bold: Ask someone you admire and respect.  Go to Christian group on your campus. (if you are in College) How you can support the show: Share this podcast with your friends! Follow us on Instagram!
