Leading a Generation of Paradox | Strategies to Prepare this Generation for Authentic Adulthood

ResLife Church

In "Leading a Generation of Paradox," Pastor Tim Elmore dives into the challenges facing today's youth. They live in a paradox—exposed to vast amounts of information at younger ages, yet lacking the depth of understanding that comes from real-life experience. Proverbs 4:7 tells us, "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." But how do we help our kids truly grow in wisdom when they’re overwhelmed by over 10,000 messages a day? Pastor Tim shares five practical strategies to guide our youth toward authentic adulthood. From taking risks to meeting influential people, traveling to new places, chasing meaningful goals, and learning to wait for what they want—these steps encourage growth outside their comfort zone. Just as James 1:4 says, “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,” our goal is to help this generation become genuinely mature adults. #AuthenticAdulthood #PastorTimElmore #NextGeneration #SpiritualGrowth
