Passing the Torch to Young Church Leaders
I have previously posted here about what we older leaders need to hear from young church leaders, but I continue to learn from them and about them. They are passionate, energetic, globally minded, committed . . . and concerned. Here are some of their concerns we must consider:
1. They do not want to do ministry alone. Not only do they recognize the value of together facing struggles, but they also understand the strength of collective wisdom. Indeed, many argue that leading a church without a plurality of leaders is unbiblical. Whether in a local church or on the mission field, they want to work as a team.
2. They still want heroes. Many have been raised in broken homes and/or struggling churches. They want heroes, but they have often found them primarily via the Internet and social media. When they cannot find the integrity of lifestyle or depth of teaching they want in their home or home church, they have found it via podcasts, blogs, and streamed worship services.
