Recently I've begun reading a blog maintained by Michael Hyatt. He is the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Christian publishing company in the world. He has some pretty fascinating things to say... especially as it concerns intergenerational relationships and communication.
One thing that keeps hitting me hard in these last few months - and especially since we've made some intentional decisions to expand our ministry to support another site - is just how critical it is for our more seasoned people to take on a different mantle of leadership in our community: to mentor those in our ministry who are newer, younger, and less mature. It's beautiful when it happens... and painfully obvious when it's absent.
Michael Hyatt wrote about this very subject in one of his more recent posts entitled "Why You Aren't Dead Yet." I'd love for all of you to read it, and then share on our blog some of your own personal examples or desires as to how these principles continue to apply to P&P at PLC.

This article was encouraging for someone like me who is older. :) Good to know that God still has a plan for my life.
ReplyDeleteI think that everybody should read this no matter their age. It is encouraging to be reminded that God does have a purpose for us. It doesn't matter what we are going through, He'll get us through it and He will be glorified in our lives. He is using us... if you are still here, He definitely still has a purpose for you.
ReplyDeleteAfter this reminder, I think that we all have the choice: to be on board with His plan OR sit around and do nothing about it. God has given PLC a vision bigger than any of us. He wants us to be on board with it and jump in wherever we are needed. We can choose to sit back and watch others do it and expect them to do it OR we can fully participate in reaching all of Iowa.
You have a choice: to be engaged fully or disconnected. God is going to move with or without you. Wouldn't it be better to be on board?
I can't wait to see how God is going to continue to move and what He is going to do at PLC!
