Show Notes: In episode #11, Sean and Josh first describe what discipleship looked like in Jesus day. Then they try to differentiate between mentorship and discipleship, provide some tips for initiating a mentorship relationship, and conclude by discussing the importance of mentorship for 20-somethings today.

Opening quote from Church History from a letter to Francois Fenelon by Father Tronson (this is a different translation than Josh read during the podcast):

“You are in a land where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is little known, where those who know it make use of it for personal advancement. You now live among people whose conversation is practically pagan, whose example tends to dangerous things. You will find yourself surrounded by everything calculated to indulge the senses and awaken dormant passions…In truth, Monsieur, yours is a dangerous position ; it must be candidly acknowledged that it will be difficult to remain steadfast in it, that you will need the highest principles to sustain you. If ever you needed study and meditation on the Bible, it is now; until now you have looked to it to strengthen you with the Truth, and inspire you with good thoughts, now you will need it to banish evil ones and shield you from lies.”

Quote about the “High School of the Mind”: Joseph Epstein says that today many adults are “locked in a high school of the mind, eating dry cereal, watching a vast quantity of television, hoping to make sexual scores” and generally enjoying “perpetual adolescence, cut loose, free of responsibility, without the real pressures that life, that messy business, always exerts.”

The 10-10-10 rule comes out of a book called: Decisive: How to Make Better Choices by Dan and Chip Heath.
