This Christian Journey is a site dedicated to New Christian spiritual growth through discipleship and Bible Study. The New Christian Bible Study and Discipleship materials are provided free in electronic format.

While I am not necessarily opposed to younger people helping in youth ministry, I do believe that we are missing the influence of wisdom, experience, and spiritual maturity. And we need those influences.

It is my experience that younger people really do want someone in their lives to whom they can look for conversations, wisdom, encouragement, and answers.

What do we want from this generation? We want them to know our God and love Him. We want to influence our generation to love God's Word, know it thoroughly, and apply it to the way they live their lives. We want them to be “all-in” for God and willing to follow Christ and live for His sake and the gospels. We want them to join the great cloud of witnesses who lived by faith and “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, [and] obtained promises” (Hebrews 11:33). Those are what makes Christianity successful! Let's stay focused on those things.

We made it up to the Mentoring Timothy property in this episode of The Wild Way, and we are heading out to gather wood for the property's fireplaces.
