Whose Shadow?
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to share with you one thing that amazes me. It is the choices people make. Many choose to walk in dark shadows, trying to conceal their sins, compromise and deliberate foolishness. To do so may seem attractive at the moment. It may bring

Inside Out
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want set the record straight. God never designed us to be shallow, superficial Christians.

More of Who? Less of Who?
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to ask you whether your attitudes are defined by what I call “more of me, and less of God.” In other words, are you someone who consistently and habitually relies more on the inherent weaknesses of your own instincts, or are you someone…

Seven-Layer Cake
Podcast: Seven-Layer Cake I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I’d like to speak to you about layers. When I was growing up, my mother would give us a special treat, called seven-layer cake.

Many Voices
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to assure you that in the midst of each of your personal challenges, you may hear many voices. These can come in the form of reasonable, well-meaning suggestions. However, they may also be harsh, uncaring criticisms and even hope-stealing words of condemnation. Whether well…

An Accurate Picture Of Serving
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to challenge you with a simple, accurate picture of service to the Lord. Here it is. Serving God is an uncompromising, highly principled, often costly commitment to value and care for others. It is sacrificial in its foundations and character. It leaves no room…

Increase
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to encourage you that if you want to bring increase to your prayer life, bring increase to your faith life. This means you deliberately confess who God is and what He has done for you. Do this in two specific ways. First, get in…
