Only Jesus can forgive my sins and give me eternal life. But he also put me into a community of disciples because he knows first-hand how much I need others to make it to heaven.

1. The Visionary: They help articulate God's highest use, plan and purpose for your

life.

hurts.

3. The Mentor: They teach you how to make your life work well, and to be practically

effective and successful in what you do.

4. The Encourager: They always believe the best of you, and they refuse to allow

your failures and weaknesses to define your life.

5. The Counselor: They provide wise insight, godly counsel and practical advice in

the decisions and challenges you face – both large and small.

6. The Soul Mate: They are one in spirit with you and know you as you know yourself.

away to others, multiplying your influence and securing your legacy after you are gone.
