180. One Generation Away
Manage episode 430634627 series 2999927
It's very easy to see that we are literally one generation away from losing the faith and Christian influence of our predecessors - the ones who took great risk and hardship to stand firm for the Gospel of Jesus. In America, a major poll indicated that two-thirds of young people will leave the church once they live on their own. And not only are they leaving the church, they're leaving their God-infused lifestyles that was so practiced in their homes as children.
Host Sue Duffield takes a deep dive and risk here, to talk about how we have no one to blame but ourselves. She takes it on personally, and has every hope that she can still be an encouragement and influencer when it comes to LIVING the gospel before her grandchildren (and other young people). She's reminded of the role God has assigned to her (much like her grandparents) and that's to pursue His loving wisdom. And even if she's questioned, provoked or challenged, she'll consistently know what her role is, and that’s to love her children and grandchildren no matter what and to let them see Jesus more than ever in everything she does.
Take this episode walk with Joshua in Judges 2:7 & 8, Judges 2:10, and Judges 2:19. A generation lost! It was Joshua’s generation that walked away and it happened in the span of just one single generation, not three. To top it all, this was a generation who had personally witnessed miraculous signs and wonders and unbelievable victories.
Yet they still walked away.
