Rest
We’re so performance and production-oriented, we hardly think about resting, not until the hospital or the cardiologist or the psychiatrist brings it up. We take our bodies for granted until they break. We ignore our mental fitness until it’s overloaded, shuts down, or blows up.
But rest brings perspective. It allows us time to press meaning into the events of our lives. Rest enlivens different parts of our brains and replenishes enzymes in our muscles and joints. Just as we were made to work, we were made for rest.
Mentors can not only help mentees see the value of true rest but can help them identify who (or what) their taskmasters are and how to find ways to fight against them. To fight for rest.

Originally from the Atlanta area, Trey was raised in the shadow of Stone Mountain. Before joining Radical Mentoring in 2017, Trey was the Events Manager for Connect Ministries and a part of the Leadercast team at Giant Impact. He is passionate about the local church, specifically about the impact churches can have on the local community when their men are fully engaged.

Regi Campbell was an entrepreneur, author, and mentor. He was involved in founding 15 companies and served as CEO four times. He wrote four books: About My Father’s Business, Mentor Like Jesus, What Radical Husbands Do, and Radical Wisdom.
But Regi’s passion and calling was mentoring younger men to become all-in Jesus-followers. Through his 19 mentoring groups, he personally invested in 155 men and indirectly, in their marriages and families. The success of his mentoring groups led Regi to found Radical Mentoring to equip and engage men and their churches in launching intentional men’s small group mentoring. Through the investments of those churches and mentors, over 11,000 men have been mentored.
Regi was married to Miriam for 50 years. Their two adult children are happily married (with five grandkids between them) and live only a couple of hours away. Regi went home to be with his Heavenly Father on January 24, 2020.
