In this issue of Just for Mentors, Doug reflects on how a simple trip to the beach—and the stubborn presence of sand—offers a powerful picture of how sin clings to our lives. Yet even more persistent than sin is God’s grace. Doug encourages mentors to help their students move beyond guilt and repeated apologies into a life marked by repentance and spiritual renewal. It reminds us all to be kind to ourselves, trust God’s ongoing work, and rest in the peace that only Christ can give.
