#150 Fred and Pat Bruner on Reflecting the Heart of Jesus Through Mentorship

Provide Like Jesus- Inspiring Christians to Serve Their Families and Communities like Christ

When Justin sat down with Pat and Fred, it wasn’t just a casual chat—it was a heartfelt conversation about what it means to provide like Jesus. Together, they explored how to partner with God in everyday life, step into mentorship with humility, and trust his plan for the people they encounter.

Pat and Fred, pastors to pastors, shared their journey of becoming spiritual mentors. For them, mentorship isn’t about having all the answers or coming across as righteous—it’s about loving people well. They believe in being “boots on the ground,” showing up in the lives of others with compassion and humility.

The conversation turned to the importance of faith in mentorship. Without faith, Pat and Fred explained, it’s impossible to please God or truly step into the adventure he has for them. They shared how they’ve learned to listen for God’s voice and trust that he’s leading them to help others in meaningful ways.

For Justin, Pat, and Fred, providing like Jesus means partnering with God to care for others. It’s about showing up with love, listening for his guidance, and trusting that he’s working through us. Whether we’re mentoring someone, offering encouragement, or simply being present, we’re called to reflect his heart.

By providing like Jesus, we step into a life filled with faith, passion, and the assurance that He’s always making a way.
