The cornerstone of Christian mentoring is a relationship with God, apart from whom the work of a mentor falls flat (John 15:5). The X-Factor that allows for more than we could ask or imagine to be accomplished out of a mentoring relationship is the Holy Spirit at work in and through the mentor and the mentee (Ephesians 3:20). 

Therefore, mentors must minister out of a vital relationship with God, others, and themselves. Any mentor under consideration needs to exhibit the following essential characteristics as a way of life. These qualities are preeminent in successful mentors and align with biblical standards (e.g., 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9).
