I ran into one of my co-workers, friends and mentors at Walmart this afternoon. It got me thinking about how many people have given time and attention to mentoring me.
Encouragement, a listening ear, prayer, challenge.
They didn’t have to. But they did. And I’m so grateful.

(This list was difficult to make! There are a lot more people…)
Who’s mentored you?
My list is difficult to make because there are so few in it. I spent years of my life looking for a mentor and realized that most people are not willing to be one.That said, I grew a lot under the mentorship of Chris Kiesling at Asbury Seminary and Mary Jo Yeakel here in West Ohio.

I think my mom and my grandmother were mentors in their rock solid faith. I learned a lot about ministry from Gary Runtas…and I learned to do ministry from Hal Hamilton. Almost all of this has come through relationship rather than the classroom!
