Ep88 : Giving and Mentoring

We teach people to separate the person who we love from their deeds, which we may not love and we teach them to discern, to be specific, so when we say giver, we're not labelling a person, we're labelling their deeds.

 We want to discern and listen to the right people. ask the right question to the wrong person, you get the wrong answer.  Ask the wrong question to the right person, you get the wrong answer. We need to ask the right question to the right person and that's a really good, solid mentor.
