Relational Activities for mentor relationships. Listening, speaking, social capital. Learn about the benefits, the barriers, and the practicals behind relational mentoring activities.

Spiritual activities for mentor relationships. Mentoring is modeling. The more spiritual practices and disciplines you can do together with your mentee, the better equipped they will be to walk with Jesus when no one else is around.

Happy New Year y'all! Stephen is joined by new co-host Beth Winter to discuss the benefits, the barriers, and the practicals behind mentoring activities they've found to help connect with their mentees in a new series. This week's topic is physical activities.
