020: Understanding Generational Differences and Anxiety in Our Church Family
In this milestone 20th episode, we dive into the complexities of intergenerational dynamics within the church. We revisit last week's conversation about Gen Z returning to faith andsteer the discussion towards understanding how different generations perceive each other. We explore the concept of the church as a multi-generational family and discuss the challenges of dealing with anxiety in this context. Based oninsights from Peter Steinke’s book 'How Your Church Family Works’ https://a.co/d/1eoSEXw, we unpack key concepts like triangulation, linear vs. systems thinking, and the importance of self-regulation. Join us as we gather around the well of Jesus, navigating our faith community with compassion, integrity, and a focus on moving forward together.
A special thank you to Dr. Gary Braun — his insights on this topic sparked the inspiration for this episode, we are grateful for you!
