📌 Overview
In this lesson, we explore the training phase of mentoring and how to develop leaders effectively. You’ll discover that training is not just about transferring information, but about building capability through practical experience, repetition, and guided development.
This session emphasizes the importance of apprenticeship-style training, helping leaders grow through hands-on experience while being supported, corrected, and encouraged along the way.
📖 Scripture Focus:
“Prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers…”
James 1:22 (NASB)
Key Takeaways:
✅ Training is essential for developing leaders and requires intentional structure and support.
✅ Information alone is not enough – true learning happens through application and experience.
✅ Apprenticeship is a powerful model: you do, they watch; you do, they help; they do, you help; they do, you watch.
✅ Effective training develops head (knowledge), heart (character), and hands (skills).
✅ Leaders must provide feedback, support, and correction throughout the training process.
