MORE MENTORING- Nancy Lindgren

Mentoring can take many different forms. For some, it means coaching. For others, it is someone who can point them in the right direction and nothing more. For others, it involves hands on instruction and others simply assigning tasks that teach a person how to do things they desire to achieve.

For Christians, it can also involve learning how to walk closer to God. How to fulfill our life’s calling. How to help others. It definitely involves know what God’s plan is for our lives. Amen!

Joining us today is Nancy Lindgren is a national speaker, author, and the Founder and CEO of MORE Mentoring, whose mission is to inspire women to love and encourage others through prayer-focused mentoring. Nancy has authored/co-authored a series of seven books called “Together — A Mentoring Guide for Mentors & Mentees.” 

 She has also created a process for churches wanting to start a mentoring ministry and a course for training mentors. 

 Nancy has over 35 years of experience in mentoring and she loves coaching and consulting with those who desire to grow in their mentoring relationships.

Nancy is also the author of “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  This is her latest book and one which we will share a little from today. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Nancy Lindgren.

Nancy, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program and join us today to talk about this great book and what you are doing to help the Body of Christ. Thank you.

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Nancy Lendrgin?”

I read that you live in a town that is the “closest to Heaven in the United States.” Is that correct?

How did you get started in Christian mentoring?

The Lord gave you the name, “MORE Mentoring.” What does MORE stand for?

You have various mentoring programs, depending on where a person is being led by the Lord. Share with us a little bit about what a person, perhaps someone who is being led to start their own mentoring program, how you can help them in that area. Maybe helping them to avoid the pitfalls you had to experience in starting out. What do you have for someone like that?

If someone has, let’s just say, “heard the call of God” to become a mentor – but they feel “unqualified” to be effective – how are you able to help them in that area?

You also help churches to begin their own mentorship training programs, correct?  Can you share a little about that for our listeners?

Let’s shift gears a little and talk about your latest book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  Why did you feel the time was now to write and publish this book?

One of the things you talk about in your book is the “Four Pillars of Mentoring.” Can you explain those four pillars for us?

-                Love

-                Listen

-                Encourage

-                Pray

In your book, “Mentoring Made Real,” you also discuss three more key words:  COME, BE, MOVE.”  Can you explain these terms for us?

You also share stories and testimonies from those you have helped to mentor over the years. Is there a story in there that you could briefly share with our listeners that demonstrates the power of mentorship?

Nancy, this has been so interesting. How can someone order their own copy of your book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection?”  Is it on Amazon?

If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or to perhaps to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.

Folks, as you have heard today, mentoring is more than just teaching somebody something. Amen.  It is making them understand you care about them. You want to help them, basically, help themselves to help others as well. Glory to God!

That is what the Bible is all about, isn’t it?  How other people, normal human beings just like you and I, accepted the call on their life and started to serve God by somehow and someway, helping others. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!

Nancy Lindgren has put together these resources to help you achieve YOUR God given goal as well. This book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection,” could be the first step on that path you are called to serve in. If you want to help others, this is a must have book on your reading list. Amen!

Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Nancy and get her help in creating your own mentoring program… and to purchase this awesome book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  Do it right now, while you are thinking about it.

In fact, at the time this interview is being released, we are in the Christmas season. This book would make a great gift for someone you know as well. Why not order two, three or more copies and sow them into someone’s life right now!  They will be blessed and YOU will be blessed because you are sowing a seed into their life and possible future ministry!  Praise God!

You never know how God will use the seed you sow when you sow this book into someone’s life. Amen!  In fact, buy one for your pastor and let him find out how Nancy can help your church grow their mentorship program as well. Amen!

Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Nancy today and be sure to click the link to purchase her great book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”

Nancy, I want to thank you, again, for taking the time to come on the program and share all about your great ministry and this latest book. I do appreciate it.
