I often think about how I mentor others - and how I am mentored by others.I've always given advice, shared wisdom, and with a few persons (mostly students) been a mentor, and for the past years I have become convinced that mentorship and intentional "discipleship" of others is urgent. Mentorship is not one-time-bits of advice. It's long term, relational work.
Articles like this one in Forbes magazine - about a program at Stanford University, based in good research with leading thinkers, reinforces what has become more clear to me over time . . . young people need time to reflect in life - and, they need help doing that with wise counsel from caring persons.
