| Résumé: | This study offers an emic definition and measure of Christian counselor mentoring. Christian counselor mentoring is conceptualized as a mutual relationship between a Christian with vocational experience and a mentee. The mentor serves by providing an example of how to root vocational and personal expression in a biblical telos, by demonstrating self-limiting, offering encouragement, and collaborating with the mentee. This definition is emic in that the indigenous writing and culture of Christianity is analysed and allowed to dictate the purpose and structure of the mentoring construct. Based on this conceptualization, we constructed the Christian Counselor Mentoring Experience Scale (CCMES). Exploratory and parallel factor analysis of data collected from a convenience sample of Christian counseling students (N = 53) provided preliminary confirmation of a 10-item, two-factor measure. Measure reliability and validity are discussed. Implications for educators and mentors include details of specific mentoring actions that enhance Christian practitioner development. |
