Great Mentors I Have Known:
CHARLIE RIGGS, PACESETTER Went Home: 7/21/08
My first lesson from mentor Charlie was the way he handled a major crisis. A Texas
millionaire, interested in the follow-up ideas he had heard from Daws Trotman, had
offered to support someone to teach discipleship and spiritual growth for three years
in Ft. Worth. On that promise Charlie was asked to move to Texas. . . .

Winning the Battle from Decisions to Disciples
“As new born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed
you have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (1 Peter 2:2, 3 NKJV). Growing from a conversion
decision to a mature disciple takes time. We must stand against the forces of evil outside, and
the flesh in the church. Disciples are made not born. . . .

The Power of Insignificance
Do you like Trivial Pursuit? Ok, quick -- what was the name of the servant whom God used to launch
David towards Kingship? That was an unfair question: the servant was apparently too insignificant
to name; however, he was a critical link in God’s plan. That servant gave an unbelievably
faithful, PR recommendation to King Saul . . .

Why You Should Mentor Now
This year’s Superbowl was especially delightful for the tens of thousands of fans in Tampa where I
live -- Coach Tony Dungy won! We had suffered when he was fired from the Bucs, but thousands of us
have continued praying for him. We thrilled at his winning seasons with the Colts, and now this
Ultimate Win. Pages of newsprint grew about the Christian testimony of the coach, his family’s home
in Tampa, and his connections to Idlewild and Central Tampa Baptist Churches. . . .

Instant Mentor
What if you're desperate to find that illusive mentor? Hungry men and women have shared with me the difficulty of finding
someone who has both the time to invest and has a strong track record of living for Jesus over the years. Know what? You can
find a great mentor this week. You'll discover your new mentor's record of believing God, experiencing Christ's power in
times of crisis, and his answers to prayer. . .

Iron Sharpens Iron
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)
I grew up wealthy and didn't know it. I was rich with 32 first cousins to play with and get to know.
Things were tough in my childhood. There was little money. Only nickles or dimes in those days for a kid
who lost a tooth. My Dad bartered music lessons for food and things we needed. . . .

THE ART OF ENCOURAGEMENT: The Essence of Mentoring
Names are important. Let's look at a man who was nicknamed, “Barnabas.” His name means
“Encourager,” “Son of Consolation.” His real name was Joses, or Joseph. Some people are
encouragers — some are discouragers. . . .

Pocketful of Miracles
With a new year before us, we will need a “Pocketful of Miracles,” as film director,
Frank Capra described one of his heart-warming movies. Let's look at fresh ideas for 2005 —
a pocketful of spiritual nuggets that the Holy Spirit can use to make miracles happen. I'm
praying that the Lord will fill your heart with more than one of these!

Reverse Mentoring
The concept of “reverse mentoring” . . . is valuable at any age, but especially powerful when
an older leader is open to learn from someone with ability outside the leader's immediate circle.
I've been surprised, being asked to do reverse mentoring with some leaders over me. My life has
also been enriched as a receiver of reverse mentoring from younger men whom God placed in my path
and ministry. Are you open to reverse mentoring?

How To Mentor Character Into Others # 1
Teacher and Mentor, Dr. Howard Hendricks talked about the necessity for good
mentors this way: “The greatest crisis today is the crisis in leadership.
And the greatest crisis in leadership is the crisis of character. Character is
the result of four things:
1) The choices you make;
2) The values you embrace;
3) The crisis you experience;
4) The mentor you choose.”
Do you have a mentor, a mentoree?

How To Mentor Character Into Others # 2
The greatest golfer of them all was probably Bobby Jones. As an amateur,
he won so many honors and tournaments that he retired at the young age
of 28. Bobby had played 14 years of incredible, superlative golf.
Grantland Rice, the famous sports writer, called him “a man in
10 million.” He conquered a . . . .

Mentored By The Prince of Preachers
by Fred Smith,
Leadership Magazine
Champions learn to play hurt. A successful Jewish businessman once
remarked to me, “Amateurs can produce when they feel like it. Pros can
produce when they don't feel like it.” Spurgeon, like many great
accomplishers, fought with a thorn in his flesh.

A Simple Step to Mentoring
What could be important to bring together the minds and money of Harvard
University, ABC (Disney), CBS (Viacom), Fox News Corp., NBC (GE), and several
divisions of AOL Time Warner? They have linked together behind a common goal:
to get the idea of mentoring into the mainstream of American life. . . .

MENTORING DEFINED
Mentoring is a brain to pick, a shoulder to cry on, a push in the right direction.
– Richard Tyre.
Mentoring is a dynamic relationship of trust in which one person enables
another to maximize the grace of God in his/her life and service.
– John Mallison.
And I would add to this last great definition the one word “deliberate.”
– Waylon Moore.
