Modelling and mentoring are essential not just to our role as leaders, but also to our call to be disciples and followers of Jesus. Yet it is interesting that these key concepts can raise quite different expectations and reactions in our respective cultures and contexts. The Bible itself provides examples - both good and bad - of modelling and mentoring relationships. This course will engage with mentoring and modelling as core practices in our Christian life. The story of the Bible will be brought into dialogue with our own contexts, experiences and cultures, and we will seek to discover how people from different backgrounds relate to modelling and mentoring.
