Here are a few typical incisive questions that can be used during a mentoring session:
- If you knew you had the support you needed, what significant change would you like to make in the way you live and work?
- What would you have to do or stop doing that would enable you to be more of an ‘excellent disciple of Jesus Christ’?
- What’s gone well for you over the past while?
- When you’re at your best, what are you doing?
- What Biblical personality most reminds you of yourself, and why?
- What do you most hope for?
- If you were to count your blessings, can you name some of them?
- Are you satisfied with your financial position? If not, what would have to happen for you to achieve satisfied? If you are, how did you achieve this?
- How would you define success for yourself at this stage of your life?
- If God were present with you know, and made the offer, what would you ask him to do for you?
- Do you feel loved by God? Explain your answer.
- What positive character trait have you inherited from either one of your parents?
