The Power of Mentorship: Lessons from Elijah, Elisha, and Life

Remote video URL

Who has coached you on your journey through life?

In today’s Word of Hope, Fr. Chuck Dahm, a Dominican priest at St. Pius V parish in Chicago, explores the beautiful biblical story of Elijah passing his mantle to Elisha. Just as Elijah mentored his successor, Fr. Chuck reflects on the mentors who shaped his own life—from his supportive parents to the basketball coach who taught him how to be a man.

We are all called to be both students and teachers. Take a moment today to thank those who supported you, and consider how you are "passing the baton" to the next generation.

**In this video, we discuss:**
*   The biblical significance of Elijah selecting Elisha.
*   The importance of mentorship and coaching in personal growth.
*   Personal stories of gratitude for parents and coaches.
*   The responsibility of parents and elders to mentor the youth.
