Hey Friends,

Yesterday I wrote a blog about lifting the lid for young adult leaders. I wanted to take some time to explain it in some more detail because it is so important! It occurred to me that many older leaders like me are not sure what younger leaders are looking for. Let me burst some myths and help you even more.

1. They are looking for an opportunity. They want to lead and make a difference for Jesus.

2. They are looking for a place where they can make a difference.

3. They are looking for a place where their voice counts. Will anyone  listen to me?

4. They are looking for a place where people are willing to take a risk. We call it faith!

5. They are looking for a place where they will be loved and respected.

6. They are looking for a place where everyone is loved and cared for regardless of color or financial status.

7. The whole church does not have to revolve around them, but they must matter. They do to Jesus!

I could keep going on for a long time. Every issue they are looking for, Jesus told us to do. We are not asking the church to be totally changed unless it needs to, to line up with the Word. If you are doing something you’d better tie it to Scripture and it needs to be relevant to today’s culture. It is the will of God and we must do it. The Kingdom of God depends on it.

Just a thought. Yours to count on.
