047 | Engaging A Faith-aligned Mentor Women Of Faith In Leadership - Kingdom Leadership, Workplace Organisational Culture, Christian Women podcast

Have you ever considered engaging a mentor or coach to support you in your leadership role?

Perhaps your line manager is your mentor or someone else at work?

In a recent article, Forbes magazine said, “Having a mentor is more than just setting and achieving goals; it's about having someone in your corner who can provide valuable feedback, encouragement and support to help you grow both professionally and personally.”

So, in this episode, I’d like to discuss the topic of engaging a faith-aligned mentor.

The bible shows us that mentorship is not a new concept. We can see that there were many mentor/mentee relationships in the bible:

Jethro mentored Moses. Moses mentored Joshua and the elders of Israel. And Joshua mentored the other remaining leaders of his army.
Eli mentored Samuel. Samuel mentored Saul and David. Ahithophel and Nathan the prophet also mentored David. David became Israel's greatest king. David mentored his army commanders and government officials to establish the united nation of Israel. David also mentored Solomon. Solomon mentored the Queen of Sheba, who returned to her people with his wisdom in the form of Proverbs that applied God's laws.
Elijah mentored Elisha. Elisha mentored king Jehoash and others.
Daniel mentored Nebuchadnezzar, who humbled himself before God.
Mordecai mentored Esther. Esther mentored King Artaxerxes, which led to the liberation of God's people.
Priscilla and Aquila mentored Apollos, and this resulted in a much-improved ministry for Apollos.
And finally, Jesus mentored the twelve apostles who established the Christian church. The apostles mentored hundreds of other leaders, including Paul. Paul mentored Titus, Timothy, and many others." (Extract from Lifeway)

Enjoy the episode as I discuss ways of engaging a faith-aligned mentor and ensuring it's the right person to mentor you.
