Podcast Episode #194

We explain why mentoring is so important for your continued growth as a pastor or church leader. We also discuss some of our favorite questions and moments from my speaking engagements.

Some highlights from today's episode include:

* The question I get the most from pastors and church leaders is "how do I keep growing personally and professionally?"

* The most effective church leaders are those who are being mentored.

* The smaller you go in groups, the more you grow.

* When you are being mentored, you are saying "I have not arrive, and I can still learn."

* Everyone needs to be a continuous learner in some form or another.

* Learning by mentoring is a sign of humility.

The five reasons pastors and church leaders need a mentor are:

* A willingness to be mentored reflects an attitude of servant humility.

* Leaders grow by learning from others.

* Mentoring engenders some level of accountability.

* Some of the most strategic leadership ideas come from two or more people together.

* Mentoring offers great encouragement.
