Mentoring the next generation shouldn’t feel dangerous… but in today’s culture, even good intentions can be misunderstood.

So how do you mentor kids without getting accused?

In this powerful conversation with Jeff and Tina Newberry, we break down how to mentor safely, biblically, and with integrity, while protecting both the child and yourself. If you’re a parent, pastor, coach, youth leader, or business owner pouring into the next generation, this episode is for you.

We talk about:

• Why mentoring feels risky in today’s culture

• Healthy boundaries that protect everyone

• Why accountability partners matter more than mentors

• The 80/20 leadership principle that multiplies impact

• The 7 lies Satan tells kids — and how to combat them with truth

• Leaving a legacy IN your kids, not just an inheritance FOR them

If you care about raising strong, grounded, kingdom leaders, don’t miss this one.

Follow I Like Birds for more real conversations on faith, leadership, and culture.
