Five years ago this month a new feature to “The Everyday Homemaker,” Kelsey’s Korner, was launched. At that time the Homemaking concentration at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary transitioned to the Family and Consumer Sciences Program. Kelsey was my new administrative assistant and graduate student. As well, she was my “spiritual grandchild” having graduated from the Family and Consumer Sciences program I established at The Master’s University. We began modeling the Titus 2 principles described in my “mentoring” blog posts as she added her biblical and professional insights to each month’s topic. It is a special blessing to partner with Kelsey in the Everyday Homemaker ministry. I love the way that we sharpen and complement one another as we participate in this intergenerational ministry (Prov. 27:37).

However, each season has its beauty and challenges just as the seasons of mentoring possess unique qualities. Last month I shared with you the biblical mentoring strategies outlined in Titus 2:3-5 and encouraged you to view your home as your primary venue. The Titus passage provides the biblical foundation for understanding the mentoring relationship. The book of Ruth presents us with a real life example of how mentoring should work. This week I am excited to share with you the seasons of mentoring.
