Everyone should have a mentor. Despite our best intentions to live lives of purpose, purity and significance, we are handicapped if we lack the input and influence of someone who has gone before us.

Now that apprenticeships, committed fathers, intergenerational church settings and extended family gatherings are becoming endangered species, the timeless tradition of transferring wisdom from one generation to the next — especially among men — has been severely curtailed. We need mentors like never before — for input and direction on our relationships, our work, our calling.

We want to help you experience the power of mentoring. In addition to helping you formalize a mentoring relationship, we're collecting a growing number of mentor interviews. May they challenge you and encourage you in your personal mentoring relationships.
