Forget the youth – Here’s the real gap in church ministry

Written by Marshall Jones Jr.

This is an issue I’ve had on my mind for months now and have only recently branched out to start doing anything about it.

I recorded the video first take this morning at about 1:00 am. I always feel like an idiot when I listen to myself speak like this because I get nervous and start saying, “Um, ya know, right?” Like seven hundred times.

Enough with the disclaimers, though. I’m serious about this, even though “forget the youth” is probably a bit sarcastic. What do you think?

Serving Suggestions:

(1) Today, right now in fact, connect with someone who’s elderly. Reach out to them. They’re usually starved for attention.

(2) And I’m not just saying this because I think elderly people are hopeless. I’m saying this because I think they provide an excellent opportunity for the rest of us to mature way, way quicker and learn how to serve. Go pick up some wisdom.
