Mentoring His Way

This is the third of a three-volume series called, Mentoring His Way – Disciple Twelve based on the “Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life.”

In this third book, we learn about the four “Lifestyle Characteristics if a Godly Life.”

Having a Servants Heart:  I serve others, I do not expect them to serve me

The first lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is about having a servant’s heart and meeting the needs of other people. We have been primarily concerned with how we can, through God’s Word, and by adapting His Word to our lives, achieve spiritual and personal maturity, in the process of conforming to the image of Christ.

Serving Christ in the Workplace: I serve Christ in the workplace. I do my best for God’s glory, not man’s

The second lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is understanding how we are to conduct ourselves in our place of employment. As Christians, we must exemplify Christ’s character on the job. Whether our workplace is an actual office, within the home, our ministry, or volunteer work within the community, the same principles apply.

Trusting God’s Provision:  I know that God supplies all my needs according to His riches, not mine

The third lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is to exemplify God’s attitude about money; both in the acquisition and the proper use of it. To look at God’s attitude concerning our finances we will take a detailed look at the Scriptures.

Living Purposefully:  I live Christ’s life on purpose, not by accident

The fourth lifestyle characteristic of a Godly life is learning how to live Christ’s life on purpose, instead of by accident. We need to be like the Apostle Paul. He said, “This one thing I do.” He lived Christ’s life on purpose. He knew what God had called him to do. He set his course to fulfill that purpose. We must live our lives with the purpose of becoming Christ-like in all we do.

Volume One covers the “Spiritual Characteristics of a Godly Life.”
Volume Two covers the “Personal 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.
