Models of Mentoring 3 : Mentor as Accountability Partner

In this third talk in our series we look at Luke 10:1-17 where we see that Jesus sends out, not just his 12 disciples but he gathers 72 people and sends them out ahead of him into the places where he will be going, to kind of prepare the way and break the ground for the coming Kingdom of God.

But what is powerful is that he doesn't them out on their own. He sends them in pairs, He sends them out in twos.

He knows that doing anything in isolation, doing anything alone is going to be so much more difficult. Whatever we do in life, doing it with somebody else, doing it together, doing it in partnership will always be more impactful. It will always be more enduring and will always create a greater legacy. Because in that pair, in those twos, there is mutual encouragement, mutual support, mutual challenge, and mutual accountability. Jesus sent His disciples and the 72 in pairs, because he knew the power of that mutual accountability.

Question: Who do you report progress to? Who reports their progress to you?
