We are hereby making a covenant commitment to the following:
- I desire to be an all-in Jesus-follower, husband, father, son, friend, disciple-maker, and leader. I want to grow in my relationship with Jesus and learn to be more like Him.
- I will take direct, unfiltered feedback and do everything in my power to receive it in love and learn from it. I will avoid defensiveness, realizing that when I defend, I lose the opportunity to learn. I commit to openly examine my personality, past, habits, and responses to people.
- I commit to attend every meeting and retreat, to be there on time, and to complete all my assigned homework. No exceptions, unless providentially hindered. I understand and agree that I will have to say “no” to important things to meet this commitment, and I am willing to do so. After we lay out our schedule for the year, I will manage my other commitments around the dates we’ve selected for meetings and retreats.
- I recognize that my mentor and group will make a significant investment in me. Because it would be unfair and disrespectful to do otherwise, I commit to the entire season and to finish well. I recognize that my mentor pledges to give me the same commitment, dedication, and energy. He will attempt to lead from a humble, transparent, and loving heart.
- I recognize that this mentoring process is based upon Jesus, His message, and His plan. I will be vulnerable about my relationship with Him, for the purpose of growing my faith.
- I commit to full confidentiality. What is said in the group stays in the group. This confidentiality does not supersede the law and must never cover up a current or future threat to the health or well-being of another person.
- I commit to pay it forward by investing in others for spiritual purposes. I will use this time to identify a plan for how I can serve and lead based on my gifts, season of life, and passions. I will be a disciple-maker in whatever way God leads, including potentially leading my own mentoring group.
- I discussed this commitment with my wife, and she fully supports my involvement. She willingly relinquishes the time it will take to attend the meetings and retreats and to do the reading and homework, with the goal of my becoming a godlier man.
