“What Have You Learned From a Mentor?” - Jenny White

"The vocation of caring." I love that. Jenny's experience highlights something that is incredibly significant about Christian mentorship, beyond just imparting professional skills. Her relationship with her mentor has contributed, not only to her career, but to her broader sense of what vocation means—the "why" of what she does.

It can be tough to either be a mentor or to find one, but there is so much potential there, both to grow and to foster the kind of growth that leads to significant transformation. Feel free to share your own experiences in the comments. We'd love to know more about the challenges and successes that you have had as mentors/mentees!
