Cultivating Mentors - Sharing...

Todd C. Ream, Jerry Pattengale,...

Many colleges and universities informally highlight the value of mentoring among academic professionals. Yet scholars often lack clear definitions, goals, practices, and commitments that help them actually reap the benefits mentoring offers. As new faculty members from younger generations continue to face evolving challenges while also reshaping institutions, their ability to connect with more experienced mentors is critical to their vocations—and to the future of higher education.
In Cultivating Mentors, a distinguished group of contributors explores the practice of mentoring in Christian higher education. Drawing on traditional theological understandings of the mentee-mentor relationship, they consider what goals should define such relationships and what practices make their cultivation possible among educators. With special attention to generational dynamics, they discuss how mentoring can help institutions navigate generational faculty transitions and cultivate rising leaders. Contributors include:

- David Kinnaman
- Tim Clydesdale
- Margaret Diddams
- Edgardo Colón-Emeric
- Rebecca C. Hong
- Tim Elmore
- Beck A. Taylor
- Stacy A. Hammons
This book offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for faculty members, administrators, and policy makers. Whether pursuing their vocation in Christian or secular institutions, Christian scholars will benefit from the sharing of wisdom mapped out in Cultivating Mentors.

Mirror to the Church -...

Emmanuel M. Katongole, Jonathan...

We learn who we are as we walk together in the way of Jesus. So I want to invite you on a pilgrimage. Rwanda is often held up as a model of evangelization in Africa. Yet in 1994, beginning on the Thursday of Easter week, Christians killed other Christians, often in the same churches where they had worshiped together. The most Christianized country in Africa became the site of its worst genocide. With a mother who was a Hutu and a father who was a Tutsi, author Emmanuel Katongole is uniquely qualified to point out that the tragedy in Rwanda is also a mirror reflecting the deep brokenness of the church in the West. Rwanda brings us to a cry of lament on our knees where together we learn that we must interrupt these patterns of brokenness But Rwanda also brings us to a place of hope. Indeed, the only hope for our world after Rwanda’s genocide is a new kind of Christian identity for the global body of Christ—a people on pilgrimage together, a mixed group, bearing witness to a new identity made possible by the Gospel.

Meekness - The Strength of...

Esther Jameson

True meekness is often misunderstood. Many associate it with weakness, passivity, or a lack of confidence, yet in reality, it is a profound strength. Meekness is the ability to remain calm, composed, and in control, even in the face of adversity. It is not about surrendering one’s power but knowing how to wield it with wisdom, patience, and restraint. A meek person does not seek to dominate others, nor do they allow themselves to be trampled. Instead, they choose to lead with a quiet confidence that speaks louder than forceful commands or displays of authority.
One of the greatest strengths of meekness is the discipline it requires. It is easy to react with anger, impulsiveness, or pride when faced with opposition. However, meekness demands self-control, the ability to hold back when emotions rise, and the wisdom to respond with grace rather than aggression. This restraint does not stem from fear or insecurity but from a deep sense of inner stability. It is a mark of someone who is secure in their identity and does not feel the need to prove their strength through domination.
Meekness is also a key element in gaining influence and respect. While force may command obedience for a time, true authority is built on trust. People are drawn to leaders who listen, show understanding, and demonstrate humility. A meek leader does not impose their will but instead guides, inspires, and empowers others. They do not seek recognition for their own sake but prioritize the well-being of those they lead. This kind of leadership fosters loyalty, cooperation, and a sense of shared purpose, making meekness one of the most effective qualities in leadership.
