How to Make the Most of Your Story Retreat
Radical Mentoring Blog

The Story Retreat is one of the most important and crucial times your mentoring group will spend together. It will kickstart your mentoring group, allowing your mentees to make deep connections fast. After you share your story at the first meeting, your group will gather for a Story Retreat, where each of your mentees will tell their story. It’s your job as the mentor to tee them up for this by authentically and vulnerably sharing your story. What you model is what they’ll deliver. One of the main goals of this retreat is for everyone in the group to open up and reveal to everyone else wh ..read more

Known Collective is Now Radical Mentoring!
Radical Mentoring Blog

NAME CHANGE Since its inception, we’ve called the women’s version of Radical Mentoring, Known Collective. While we love how this name emphasizes the community that forms in a mentoring group, we’ve decided to change it and also call our women’s mentoring program Radical Mentoring. The main reason for this change is clarity. We want it to be clear that Radical Mentoring provides transformative mentoring resources for both men and women and ultimately, this change makes it easier to communicate that to the churches and mentors we want to impact. Much thought went into this decision, and it ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 77: The Foundation of Our Identity
Radical Mentoring Blog

I recently listened to a podcast where psychologist and forgiveness expert Everett Worthington discussed a profoundly personal incident surrounding the murder of his mother. He notes that the murderer went through the home and broke every mirror in the house because he could no longer look and not see himself as a murderer. While we may not be murderers, this story resonated with me nonetheless and reminded me of how many of us allow the messages of guilt and shame to cloud the mirrors we peer into every day. Our reflections scream “addict,” “failure,” “fat,” “stupid,” amongst countless other ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 76: Leaders Worth Following
Radical Mentoring Blog
by Kevin Harris
7M ago
Leaders are people who have influence and use it for a purpose. And the amount of influence they have often correlates with the consistency between their walk and their talk. Leaders who say one thing and do another have only authority to lean on. Their influence will be minimal, if not negative. But the best ones know who they are, where they’re going, and why. Think about the people who’ve influenced you. I bet they showed most, if not all, of these characteristics… Curiosity – Leaders have an insatiable hunger to learn, so they have more to share and give. Disciples are learners and fo ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 75: How Our Identity Affects Our Thoughts
Radical Mentoring Blog

I came across the following scenario in James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. Say you’re a smoker but desperately want to break the habit. You’re standing outside, and someone offers you a cigarette. How do you respond? Do you say, “No, thanks, I’m trying to quit.” Or do you respond, “No, thanks, I’m not a smoker.” Clear concludes that the first response comes from a person who believes they’re still a smoker trying to become someone else, while the second response comes from someone with a core belief that smoking is something they did in the past. Which of these two people is more likely to quit ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 74: Don’t Assume, Embrace Empathy
Radical Mentoring Blog
by Kevin Harris
9M ago
A few years ago, listening to a podcast, I heard a term that resonated deeply with me…assumicide. The speaker defines it as “the way we murder other people in our hearts by the false assumptions we make about them.” Think about it…if you have more, you assume people with less are lazy or not as well educated as you. If you have less, you assume people with more were born with a silver spoon and haven’t worked a day in their lives. As the world grows more digital and less conversational, the temptation to make character assumptions is rampant, tearing apart our families and ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 73: The Identity Equation
Radical Mentoring Blog

10M ago
Time Management + Money Management + Image Management = Identity How we manage our time, money, and image is a good indicator of what matters most to us. If we want to get to know someone without spending time with them, we could look at three things: their calendar, their bank and credit card statements, and their social media. Think about it… Time: Are they at church or the baseball field on Sunday mornings in the summer? Does work travel compete with family commitments? If so, who wins? Money: How does golf or eating-out spending compare to giving? If they give, what does that mon ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 72: The Meaning of Marriage
Radical Mentoring Blog

11M ago
As many people mourn the death of Tim Keller, I wanted to share five of the most challenging and meaningful insights I took from his book, The Meaning of Marriage, co-written with his wife, Kathy. Together they modeled Godly marriage for 48 years. “Marriage is glorious but hard. It’s a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears, humbling defeats, and exhausting victories.” “If we look to our spouses to fill up our tanks in a way that only God can do, we are demanding an impossibility.” “Sex in a marriage, done to give joy rather than to impress, can change your ..read more

The Mentoring Manifesto, Vol. 70: Highlighting the Bible In Your Mentoring Group
Radical Mentoring Blog

The numbers don’t lie, biblical illiteracy is high. According to the American Bible Society’s 2022 State of the Bible report… “Nearly 26 million Americans reduced or stopped their interaction with Scripture in the past year.” “Beginning in 2020 and accelerating since then, Bible Users have indicated a decreased level of Spiritual Impact from the Bible.” Two potential mentors recently asked me why Radical Mentoring groups seem to prioritize reading books over reading the Bible. On the surface, this question could sound legalistic or judgmental, but in both cases, the potential mentors as ..read more

Spiritual Maturity is Essential to Mentoring (And Six Attributes That Define It).
Radical Mentoring Blog
by Regi Campbell
1y ago
The basic premise of mentoring is to show mentees not just how to do something but also how to be something. Hopefully, during the mentoring season, mentees will have seen some of Jesus in their mentor and be well down the road toward replicating it in their lives. But the only way this happens is if the mentor is spiritually mature. It’s essential, non-negotiable. But what does that look like? Here are six attributes of spiritual maturity. There are plenty more, but these ones are needed to be a good mentor… Faith. A mature Jesus-follower has a rock-solid faith in Jesus, is connected to other ..read more
