Big Idea: Traditional mentoring usually takes place over a long period of time, with meetings and coffee, and conversations built around a whole lot of trust. But that’s not the only way we can put ourselves in the position of finding God’s wisdom through mentoring. We all have people in our lives who have authority or influence. We all probably are people who have authority or influence over some other people. When we look for what God has to say through the influence of others, and when we try to say the things that God would have us say as influencers, we are seeing God’s wisdom made available through non-traditional mentoring.
