Ep. 28 | Life Shared: Why we have to take mentorship seriously as the family of God w/ Anne Miranda
In family, we take care of each other. We love each other and invest into each other’s lives. The older teach the younger. It’s just what happens.
As the church, we are all adopted into God’s family and just as mentorship is a natural thing that happens in our natural families, it’s something that should be expected in our church families.
In this episode, Krista Penner from our Leadership Development team talks with Anne Miranda, Pastor of Women’s Ministries at Village Church about how we can develop this culture of mentorship in our churches—a culture that goes beyond just another mentorship program, but where investing into each other as the family of God happens organically and authentically.
