In a broad sense I would define a mentor as someone who walks ahead of you. Imagine a tour guide. This is someone - usually older - or at least more experienced in a specific area of life or business who can “show you a better way.”

When I was newly married, my wife and I looked for couples who could “mentor” us on how to have a great marriage.

Iron Sharpens Iron (ISI) is a Biblical reference as to how one man's influence could be a positive influence on another. As we experience life we are in dire need for trusted advisors. When we come together in small groups it allows for an honest dialogue void of condemnation.

Men need a safe environment to seek the council of the multitudes. When left to our personal desires, we might miss an opportunity of a lifetime. Men gathering on a regular basis forms relationships that soon become inseparable.
