Description

You will find many courses about Christian mentoring on Udemy and other platforms. All of them offer to train you how to mentor in a way that is Biblically based. But Gospel-Centered Mentoring sets itself apart from the rest by centering mentor and mentee alike on the core of our faith, Jesus Christ, through the hopeful message of grace offered in his life, death, and resurrection. The core of this style of mentoring is not primarily obedience, but life-transformation, from a heart that relies upon itself, its own idols and righteousness to a heart that rests in Christ fully and reflects him in every realm of life.

Once you complete this brief course, you will be able to:

become a Gospel-Centered Model for your Mentees.
find a suitable mentor or coach for yourself.
nurture meaningful relationships with your mentees.
prepare your heart for each mentoring session.
fill your mentees up with gospel encouragement.
