Mentoring Matters: Jon's Story

It took me a while to purposefully seek out someone to learn from spiritually. The first guy I did this with was Bud, a co-worker and elder at our church, probably about twenty years older than I was at the time. We would walk at lunch, and during our talks Bud shared transparently from his own life, which encouraged me to do the same. I think the most significant part of this was how it took away the feeling of being unknown in the guy part of my spiritual life. Interestingly it was only about a year after starting those walks with Bud that God called us into full time ministry.
