Youth -- Why You Might Like a Mentor

Who am I?
What do I want to do with my life?
Where do I belong?

These are questions you may be asking and trying to figure out life as you grow up and become an adult. While growing up, we may not always have a person that we feel safe asking for answers to our questions. As we make life’s toughest decisions and ask hard questions, we need the support of those around us to help us and being mentored is one of the ways that we can receive that support.

What is mentoring? It’s a safe place for you to come, ask questions, and get to know someone who wants to help you grow as a person. God never intended for us to try to figure out life’s hardest and deepest questions on our own, but that’s often what we try to do. Instead, mentoring allows God to use someone else to speak into your life and help you to discover answers.

The beautiful thing about being mentored is entering into a relationship with someone who is there specifically for you and where you are free to be yourself. You are free to ask honest and real questions. You are free to communicate your hopes, fears, doubts, and dreams, without judgement and in confidence, and have someone help you walk forward into the plan that God has for you. Everyone can benefit from mentoring despite age; in the next 10 years, mentoring can benefit greatly because you will experience more life changes that at most any other season in life. We invite you to come experience what it means be mentored and reap the benefits of these great relationships.
