Has there been a woman in your life who has invested in you or mentored you, “coming alongside” in a way that left a lasting impact?

Brenda and Ingrid continue their summer conversations On the Front Porch by talking about women who have influenced them, both formally and casually. Ingrid has called them “Bettys” in honor of an early mentor of her. Both Brenda and Ingrid share about three women whose influence and example have guided and inspired them in their faith and in their roles as women.

Qualities each of the Bettys brought to the relationships are similar to those desired in friendships:

Honesty

Transparency

Sensitivity (or the ability to “see” them)

Confidentiality

Availability

You might be surprised to hear who Brenda and Ingrid claim as their Three Bettys!

This episode is the first in a two-part series on mentoring or discipling. Both of Brenda and Ingrid now choose to mentor other women. In part two, they will talk about what they’ve learned as they reach out to younger women in their church communities and beyond.
