		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to assure you that you do not need someone to affirm the quality of your driving. Just drive your bus. The people will be waiting. Let them on. Let them off. Just focus on the task to which God has called you. Yes, there will be times when you are stopped by a red light. Just relax and wait for the green. It will surely come. When it does, just drive the bus. There will be other times when it seems you are stuck in a traffic jam and cannot move. Just relax and wait for things to clear up. You will get to your destination and will help many others do the same. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (mailto:Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com) and just relax, drive the bus, and let me know about the route to which you have been assigned.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to give you a recipe for a taste of the good life. Get a pen. You might want to write this down. Start with one part joy. It puts strength into the mix (as long as it&#039;s the joy of the Lord). Then add a pinch of faith in Jesus. It will sweeten the mix (especially when you find yourself in a pinch). Finally, get some of God&#039;s love and add as much of it as you can. Blend these three ingredients together. Now you have a recipe for happiness, contentment and an opportunity to affect your world for Christ. Why? Because joy, faith and love are all you need to experience the goodness of God, working miracles in and around your life. Joy, faith and love make a tasty, satisfying combination. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. If you want even a little more sweetness, sprinkle the mix liberally with hope. Then, you can say, &quot;Why so downcast O my soul, put your hope in God (Psalm 42:11). If you have another good suggestion to add to the mix, contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (../) and share your recipe for a good life in Christ with me.

I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask if you were called to go, but have insisted that it had to fit into what you established as your convenient, self-serving, self-assuring timetable. I know that sounds harsh, but is it possible you might find you waited too long and required too much? Many are called and wait to long. They never realize the great gift of destiny that God had prepared for them. If you are reluctant to go, you will never know what could have been your destiny. You will only wonder at what might have been and should have been. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. If you want to know, you&#039;ve got to go. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (mailto:Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com) and we can talk about all you can know, if only you’ll go.

		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob. For just a mentoring minute, I want to ask, do you know what horrifies the devil? The next time you find your family, your job, your health or your finances threatened, do not give the devil an inch, not one inch! Instead, seize the opportunity to give God the glory, in the midst of your story. No matter how bleak it may appear to be, giving glory to God can cause heaven to move mountains on your behalf. What a strategic time to praise Him. Have faith in God. You will walk out the other side with a God-glorifying, devil-horrifying testimony. Every time you tell what the Lord has done, it’s like hitting old slew foot in the head with a large rock. Yes, you will be a winner and a champion when you begin your testimony when the battle announces itself and begins its attack. You will prove by your faith that you are a winner and a champion. You will make the devil’s neck your footstool. I’m Dr. Bob. Write me at www.mentoringministry.com and declare the goodness of God.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute, I want to thank God that most of you listening to this do not have to do so from a hospital bed. Even listening from the best hospital in town is not as good as listening to this from most other places. Thank God we can prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper (3 John 2). You and I are alive and well, blessed by God, and in a position to bless others. I know that even if I should find myself in the best hospital in town, my hope remains in the Lord, who is my Healer.” (Exodus 15:26.) This is my confession and prayer: Psalms 103:2-3 (NKJV) says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: {3} Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,” God is forever faithful. He is always ready to perform His Word over you (Jeremiah 1:12.). I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Write me at www.mentoringministry.com (../) and let me know your latest reason to rejoice that your Healer performed His Word over you. ?

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask you whether your thinking is just too little to take you, your hopes, your dreams and even your relationships from where they are to where they could be? What is there that holds you back from your destiny... or even just the ability to have peace in your life? I heard Dr. James Merrit say, “There are no conflicts too big to solve, just people too little to solve them.” You may need to surrender whatever keeps your life small, so God can make your life, your influence and your impact on others large. Submit to God. Surrender whatever keeps your thinking small. You will open your heart to a large portion of God’s wisdom. Then, you can take your place in the sun, because you took your place in the S-O-N, the Son of God. Be a person who grows in God until you shine for Him in a large, very bright way. Proverbs 24:3-4 says, “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; {4} By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.” Proverbs 4: 7-8 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. {8} Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.” I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask if you ever have that sinking feeling? If so, you may need to lighten your load. Are you ready and willing to do so? I am reminded of the lesson from Acts, Chapter 27, when the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked. When the ship was sinking in the storm, sailors threw stuff overboard. They knew that if the ship was burdened with too much stuff, it was destined to sink. It is a timeless lesson. What stuff are you carrying around in your heart that gives you that sinking feeling? It can be like an anchor chained to your soul. Here is the good news. It is not too late to surrender it to God. Give it to Him and trust Him to carry the burdens for you. In Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV) Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. {29} Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. {30} For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” If you will make the exchange today, you will feel like your load is so light that you can walk on the water all the way to your destiny. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com (../) and let me know how it feels to be free of that sinking feeling.

		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob and I want to ask if you have ever enjoyed a nicely ripened Golden Delicious apple? I find apples to be tasty and satisfying, especially when I have one of those mid-afternoon cravings for something special. Now I normally like chocolate, but there are times when nothing but a good apple will do. Have you heard it said, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away?” Well, how about this? “An apple a day keeps the devil away.” Let me explain. Proverbs 25:11 (NKJV) says, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” Psalms 34:8 (NKJV) says, “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” I highly recommend you make it your habit to speak God’s Word in response to any situation in which you find yourself. When God’s Word is ‘fitly spoken,” you can trust what you say to fit the situation. It will be a golden apple that keeps the devil away! Yes, today would be a good day to taste the goodness of the Lord, as you watch Him respond to what you say. After all, you are simply saying what He said. He will surely honor His Word. It is always solid gold. I’m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask you, &quot;What if?&quot; You are probably thinking, &quot;What if what? Well, what if we all had a positive response to obey all the &quot;Ifs&quot; God presents us with in the Bible? Deuteronomy, Chapter 28 tells us that obedience to Biblical &quot;ifs&quot; results in blessings. It is a simple cause and effect formula. If we obey, then we get blessed. This is not just hope or speculation. It is a guarantee backed by the authority of heaven. God commands the blessing. It seems to me that this is another one of those “no brainers.” I would suggest that not to obey the positive “ifs” guarantees we will experience the negative “ifs.” There are plenty of those in the Bible too. The same authority guarantees the negatives as the positives. Yes, it is definitely a no brainer. Only a fool chooses the negatives, when God promises the blessings of the positives. He never lies. I&#039;m Dr. Bob, and I am no fool. I will take the positive “ifs.” What if… you did too? Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com (../) and tell me what you think.
