It is a joy to share here Dr Jaison’s short, inspirational video about pastoral mentoring.
The aim of theological education and ministry training is far more than academic instruction—it is the intentional formation of Christlike character through relationships, discipleship, mentoring and contextual ministry experience. Drawing from research in theological education and ministry practice, Dr Jaison highlights that while education is essential, it is incomplete without mentoring that shapes character, spiritual resilience, and practical wisdom. Using Jesus’ model of a deeply personal, relational mentoring as the foundation, Dr Jaison illustrates how churches, families, and theological institutions can collaborate in forming shepherds, not just graduates.
Watch this video and let yourself be challenged to see mentoring not as an addition to training, but as central to forming faithful and effective leaders.
