Accountability

“So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:12) Many Christians assume that having been born again they will not answer to God for the lives that they live after their conversion. Some believe falsely that once they are saved by grace through faith in Christ that they can live however they want without any consequences....

Staying Focused

“For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.” (Romans 14:7-8) It’s easy to get off on rabbit trails that ultimately lead to nothing significant and only take time and focus away from the essential....

The Cure for Anxiety

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:33-34) We seem to live in an age of anxiety. It afflicts both young and old, affecting their ability to deal with life’s uncertainties with hope and joyful expectation....

Our Sufficiency

"Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God." (2 Corinthians 3:5) When faced with challenging tasks in the kingdom of God, we can feel incapable and insufficient. When approached about taking leadership in the church or in certain ministries, many people default to "I'm not qualified." Yet, while some roles require specific gifts and abilities, most kingdom work just needs born-again people who are willing, physically able, and committed....

Peevishness

“But God said to Jonah, ‘Do you do well to be angry for the plant?’ And he said, ‘Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.’” (Jonah 4:9) Peevishness is the sin of being easily irritated, often by small things. It is marked by impatience and is often expressed with sharp words of disapproval, many times directed at people whom we most love....

To Be Seen by God

“So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, ‘You are a God of seeing,’ for she said, ‘Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.’” (Genesis 16:13) The story of Hagar, the servant of Sarah, confuses modern listeners with the cultural implications of concubinage and surrogate motherhood. Hagar had conceived Abraham’s first child, creating tensions with Sarah, still barren and without hope of childbearing, who mistreated Hagar to such an extent that she fled from her mistress into the wilderness....

🏆 Championship Mentoring: 4 Game-Changing Lessons from the 2026 Finals

By Terry Dorey, MentorLink International Partner
The 2026 Stanley Cup and NBA Finals were absolute nail-biters—filled with massive leads, historic comebacks, and emotional rollercoasters.

Beyond the sports headlines, these championship series leave us with profound takeaways for developing young leaders and walking alongside others in ministry. MentorLink partner Terry Dorey broke down these four powerful observations from the finals:

1. The Power of "Never Give Up"
• For Mentees: Never stop pushing forward when there is still a chance to succeed—no matter how improbable it looks at halftime.
• For Mentors: Never give up on a person. Grit isn't just about finishing a game; it's about staying in someone's corner for the long haul.

2. Guard Against Complacency
"Complacency and pride come right before the fall."
It’s easy to ease off the gas when you're ahead. Remind your young leaders that momentum requires ongoing effort—staying humble and diligent is what secures the win.

3. You Can’t Win as a Solo Act
The strongest teams are unified and genuinely care for one another.
• Don't attempt to serve alone.
• Don't try to grow in Christlikeness in isolation.
• Build your Heart 1-2-3 support team around you. Real impact happens in community, not solo efforts.

4. Keep the Right Center
Following the Carolina Hurricanes' championship victory, MVP captain Staal and top defender Slavin didn't just point to tactics—they spoke of teamwork, perseverance, and keeping their faith in Jesus as their anchor.

The Takeaway: When Jesus is the center of your life, everything else finds its proper orbit. You gain the character, perspective, and peace needed to navigate life's highest wins and toughest losses.

When God Asks You a Question

“But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9) When God asks a question of someone, he already knows the answer. Because He is all-knowing, He’s not looking for information that He does not already have. He need not ask for anyone’s opinion since He does as He pleases with infinite wisdom. Why, then, does He ask anyone a question?...
