I will be starting a new mentor group on Saturday September 4th. Here is some info on what it is all about. The deadline to apply is this Wednesday August 18th. I only have a few openings left.<\/p>\n
>Our church is embracing a Married Men\u2019s group model called Next Generation Mentoring that pairs high-potential men with a more senior, more mature mentor for 10 months with the goal of pointing them toward a fully integrated Christian Life. The result is the life-on-life application of biblical and scriptural principles as the Mentor shares his experiences, successes, failures, and insights to the group.<\/p>\n
\n
What it\u2019s not<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n NGM isn’t for everyone. This is NOT a Bible study. It’s NOT an accountability group. It’s NOT a community group. This is a Mentor-led small group that involves reading (a book per month), memorization (two scriptures per month), transparency, and a willingness to change. <\/p>\n \n Vision<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The vision is to help younger Christian men live God-centric lives, fulfill their God-given potential, and to become mentors to the next generation.<\/p>\n \n Topics of Study<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Understanding who we are in God\u2019s eyes<\/p>\n Deciphering how we can excel in our work, at home, and in our communities<\/p>\n Establishing priorities, work\/ life balance<\/p>\n Dealing with sexual temptation<\/p>\n Making good decisions<\/p>\n Leadership and Godly character<\/p>\n Relating to our wives<\/p>\n Raising children<\/p>\n Knowing what it means to have a vibrant, living relationship with Jesus Christ<\/p>\n \n Are you interested? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \n Requirements<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Disclaimer: This is not for the overly-committed.

No exceptions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n It will take about 15 minutes to complete the application. You will be asked to indicate your acceptance of the NGM Covenant as part of the on-line application, as will your wife. So it\u2019s important that you talk through the commitment with her before you begin the application. A copy of the covenant is attached for you and your wife to review. <\/p>\n \n\n
