2:20 Raising Up the Next Generation of Leaders

COGO Podcast

Mentoring in the church is vital as it fosters spiritual growth, strengthens community bonds, and equips individuals to fulfill their God-given purposes. By pairing seasoned members with those who are newer in their faith journey, mentoring creates an environment of support and guidance where wisdom can be shared and lived experiences can be passed down.
This intentional relationship not only helps mentees navigate their spiritual paths but also encourages mentors to deepen their own understanding and commitment to their faith. Ultimately, mentoring cultivates a thriving church community that reflects Christ’s love and grace, empowering believers to grow together in faith and service.
In this podcast, R.W. talks with Chip Taylor, Director at Intern Academy. In the conversation, Chip shares the 3 simple, life changing keys to mentoring:
1. Invest in a mentor. Commit to meeting a minimum of once a month for one year.
2. Invest in a ministry. Once a week become an owner in the ministry you serve in.
3. Invest in a moment. Spend time with Jesus EVERY day.
Chip Taylor is a captivating speaker with a contagious love for Jesus and a huge heart for the church. He is passionate about developing leaders, caring for the marginalized, and impacting the world for Christ.

Chip loves being a “Papa,” going fishing, golfing, watching football, and date nights with his wife, Lori. He is a graduate of Mid-America Christian University and a 30 year student ministry veteran. He is the Director of the Intern Academy. Chip and Lori have two kids (Leah and Caleb), one son-n-love (Jacob) and one grandchild (JJ).
