We live in a time of information over saturation. You can "know" almost anything instantly with your phone, tablet, laptop, computer, or teenager (my 19 year old thinks he knows everything). Information is more readily available today than ever before.
For many years, the church has acted as if transformation can be attained by giving people more information. While information is vital to the formation process post-transformation, it rarely brings about the transformational change God desires.
Mentoring like Jesus is not primarily teaching although teaching is vital. Mentoring like Jesus is rooted in helping others enter into those transformational moments. Changed lives are the goal, not informed students.
