Episode notes
Host To Hear, Not To Lecture
- Facilitate conversations rather than teach answers when hosting Alpha; you are there to ask questions and listen.
- Let young people journey with you instead of expecting you to have all the answers.
Choose Authenticity Over 'Being Cool'
- Be authentic with young people instead of trying to mimic their language or trends.
- Go to their spaces and learn what they love so you can genuinely connect and start conversations.
Pray And Encourage Boldly
- Pray fervently and persistently for the next generation; older generations' prayers matter.
- Encourage and bless younger people with words, DMs, or quick prayers to give them courage.
