A Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries, informed by Mantle of Elijah by Vince Baker and Sergie Atams.
Read the Scriptures
See the relationship through small acts
Elisha’s service is remembered through a detail about water poured on Elijah’s hands. At the farewell, his cry shows the personal cost of losing his mentor. Read those scenes together to see the relationship both from the outside and from Elisha’s point of view. The story values the care that precedes public responsibility.
What good mentors pass on
Paul sends Timothy to remind the Corinthians of his ways in Christ. The pattern is teachable because it is embodied in a life others can observe. A mentor can model how to handle correction, how to care for people, and how to give God credit. A learner can respond with honest questions and willingness to do ordinary work. Spiritual relationships are most fruitful where both parties remain accountable to Christ.
