Higher education isn’t always a straightforward path, and you’re bound to run into questions, confusion, and discouragement along the way. But Proverbs 27:17 tells us that iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. God doesn’t want us to do this alone!
Global University explains the importance of finding a high-quality, trusted mentor to guide you during your educational journey.
Support and Encouragement
Every student faces unique challenges during their spiritual and academic studies. Finding a mentor who knows your heart and your potential can help encourage you when you’re feeling down and inspire you to keep moving forward toward God’s calling for you.
Mentors have been in your shoes and can offer empathy, compassion, and inspiration through Scripture and relatable stories about their own journey.
Accountability
Studying while walking a spiritual path can be stressful, and it’s easy to fall prey to distraction and temptation. A mentor can be there for you every step of the way. They can help remind you of your commitment to follow Christ and refocus your mind on His Word and plan for you.
As humans, we all fall short of the glory of God, and an experienced mentor will give you their honest feedback about where you’re falling short–while also reminding you of God’s never-ending grace.
Spiritual Guidance
The Bible is an incredible resource for understanding what God wants for you, but trying to interpret its messages on your own can be confusing and disorienting.
A mentor who is well-versed in Scripture and church tradition can help you bring the Bible’s wisdom to your unique life situations. They can listen empathetically, help you find meaning in pain and struggle, and help you find direction from a Christian perspective.
