Grant Skeldon teaches on how to intentionally find and receive mentorship/discipleship as a regular spiritual habit. He distinguishes mentorship (scheduled meetings) from discipleship (joining someone's life) and roots the practice in Jesus' Great Commission and Paul’s model of sharing both the gospel and life. Practically he gives four categories to look for in a mentor - stage of life, character, career, and current challenge - and a list of green flags and red flags for someone ready to be discipled. He closes by reminding listeners that Jesus promises presence and help (the Helper) as we pursue discipleship, and urges a posture of humility, availability and hunger to receive.
“because we loved you so much we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well” · Grant Skeldon
Take it with you
Decide whether you need mentorship (meetings) or discipleship (joining someone's life) and look for people a stage ahead in life, character, career, or a current challenge you need help with. Before asking, evaluate yourself: be faithful, available, humble/teachable, honoring, and hungry to learn - mentors match energy and will not carry unwilling learners. Start small and specific (ask for help with one challenge), prioritize time, and be quick to say yes or no so trust can be built.

The Scariest Prayer You Could Ever Pray | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon addresses the tension between praying for good things and taking action - how to tell when you're moving in faith versus forcing outcomes. He introduces the “scariest prayer” to pray: surrender your request to God and ask him to bless it if it's from him or block it if it's not.
How to Find Godly Friends | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that real Christian growth happens in committed local community, not in one-off mountaintop moments or casual attendance. Using Acts 2 as his primary text, he highlights the early church's devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, meals, the Lord's supper, and prayer, and shows how that commitment produced awe, generosity, miracles, and rapid growth.
How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
