Mentoring His Way

This is one of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way - Disciple Twelve based on the "Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life." In this first book, we learn about the four "Spiritual Characteristics if a Godly Life."

I am a Believer:  I know Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior
The first spiritual characteristic of living a Godly life is about your assurance of knowing Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.    To conform to the image of Christ, you need to have no doubts that He is in your life and that you are assured of your relationship with Him and that you have eternal life.

I am Empowered: I am controlled and empowered by the Holy Spirit
The second spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is understanding the power we have available to live the Christian life. Each day we choose to gratify the desires of the flesh or the will of the Spirit. Our spirit is satisfied only when we are totally surrendered to the control of God the Holy Spirit.

I am Victorious: I have Christ's authority over all the enemy's power
The third spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is to apply Christ's power over Satan. People struggle with temptation every day. We can have real victory over sin by exercising Christ's authority over all of Satan's influence. Because we have Christ in us, He gives us the power and authority over the enemy to stop his attacks.

I am a Warrior: I put on all of God's armor in order to defeat Satan
The fourth spiritual characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to put on the full armor of God for warfare against our enemy. God promised a way to keep temptation from becoming so strong that we could not stand up against it. He gave us six pieces of armor and instructions for their use. This gives Christians the ability to walk in the Spirit instead of walking in the flesh.

Volume Two covers the "Personal Characteristics of a Godly Life"
Volume Three covers the "Lifestyle Characteristics of a Godly Life"

Each Mentor's Guide is a tool to equip you in sharing your knowledge of the “Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life” with others. The content of the Mentoring His Way study books are completely embedded in the Mentor’s Guide. It is laid out by sessions, just like the study books are. Although, the guide has additional mentor information throughout the content.

At the beginning of each session, you will find a breakdown which reviews last the prior weeks study, and the homework assignments and memory verse for the current week. You will also find a list of Scriptures that are referenced and an outline of the chapter. At the end of the chapter, you will find questions and answers that are a part of the homework assignment. There is also a preview and the homework assignments for the following week.

This study is versatile. It can be used one-on-one for specific mentoring or within a group setting for mentor training purposes, or with couples for marriage or pre-marital mentoring. This is not a psychological counseling program. We believe that God’s Word is all that is needed to mentor or disciple individuals, as well as, married and pre-marital couples.

As you go through each chapter, you will find key points you should touch on underlined and bold to highlight during the discussion. You will also see “Touch Points”, “Mentor Notes”, and “Conversation Questions” these phrases are all in “CAPS”.

The “Touch Points” are follow-up statements or additional information that relates to the underlined points in the material.

The “Mentor Notes” are tips for you, the mentor.

The “Conversation Questions” are to stimulate interaction between you and your mentee.

These are suggestions or discussion starters that enhance the material at that point. There is a full explanation at the beginning of the Mentor’s Guide on how to successfully use it.
