Mentor Leaders Put People First | Romans 12:2 Michael R. Morgan 2026-09-12 | Before you try to change the young person in front of you, ask yourself one question:Have I listened long enough to actually know him?Romans 12:2 speaks about being transformed by the renewing of your mind.

It’s about listening, building trust and helping a young person discover who they can become.A Few Good MENtors is beginning our 9-Month Mentoring Program, and we’re still looking for men willing to step forward and mentor.Become a mentor: www.afgmentoring.netYou practice what you are becoming.

MLK Was Only 26: A Leadership Lesson We Still Need Today Michael R. Morgan 2026-09-10 | Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was only 26 years old when the Montgomery Bus Boycott began.He wasn’t yet the national leader we remember today. He was a young pastor who was asked to help lead something much bigger than himself.There’s a lesson in that for anyone waiting until they feel “ready” to lead.Leadership doesn’t always wait for more experience, more confidence, a bigger title, or someone’s permission. Sometimes responsibility shows up first—and you grow into the leader the moment requires.I’m Michael R. Morgan.
