People learn best in a mosaic, not linear pattern. In other words, they learn best when they sense a need, not when the subject just happens to come up next in the curriculum. The best we can do is come alongside others to help them listen to the Holy Spirit and cooperate with God's agenda for their life. People learn best when they are sensitive to God's leading through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The learning will last far longer when it is delivered at the point of need and in a timely fashion.
People learn best when they have effective mentoring relationships.
Good mentoring follows the Lord's agenda, rather than a prescribed curriculum, in the learner's development. That is why it must be flexible and applied individually in a mentoring relationship. In focusing on these two dimensions, mentors help the mentoree reflect and refocus, while providing resources. Help them to get God's perspective. As people determine God's agenda for their lives, it is then important to refocus and reorder one's life according to God's plan.
