“Mentoring is more about impartation than it is about information” – Joel Balin 1 Thess 2.8; “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” The Christian life is clearly one of community. We must live life together. First, to demonstrate that even through the tough stuff of life, we can live in unity and love. By this we show the principalities and powers that God's plan is good. And second, to fulfill the commandment of making disciples, i.e., truly devoted followers of Christ capable of replicating themselves ("bearing fruit", "giving birth", etc.).
