And Then There's That...A Multigenerational Conversation

GENTalks Episode 7: Why Baptism?

Kaitlin and Katie celebrate together in an early morning coffee gab session, as Kaitlin recounts her recent baptism and what it meant to her.

They continue their conversation in true unscripted, unedited fashion, simply sharing their lives, hoping to be generational bridge builders! May these talks encourage you to connect with another generation, glean from one another and grow together. #bettertogether

This week Kaitlin and Katie continue Cross-generational bridge building, as they talk about the benefits of collaboration over competition. They share collaborative adventures they have been a part of and encourage listeners to link up, shoulder-to-shoulder, with co-laborers in their cities and communities. #bettertogether

Book of Nehemiah Chapters 1-4

Try and make it to the end, because the lightening round is always a hoot! They try to keep it to 3 questions, cultural, spiritual and relational and each answer from their generations. You never know what will come out of their mouths but it is always surprising in the best sort of way:)

Disclaimer: Kaitlin and Katie both agreed that if this podcast was ever going to actually happen, it was going to have to be relatively spontaneous and pretty much unedited:) They are taking the journey alongside you. It is messy at times but real and completely unscripted prior to deciding on a topic and then plopping down on the couch to unwind and catch up, taking you along for the ride. 46 and 24 really do have so much to learn from and love about one another! #thesearethemoments Hopefully these conversations will encourage you to link up with someone from another generation and share the gift of presence!

They would love your feedback and would love to know some of your answers to the lightening round questions as well. This is community and Lord knows we need each other! This is a grace place, where you are welcomed with open, wobbly, all-in arms!

A Letter to the Next Generation (Continued...)

You have had a suitcase on your bed since the day you were born. It has been slowly closing as you approach this day. Along the way, for the past 16-17-18 years, your parents, teachers, friends, mentors, coaches, authors, musicians, movie-makers, a host of acquaintances and even strangers have been putting things into your suitcase. We are taking this opportunity to stuff some last minute items in as well. These gifts are an eclectic mix of lessons learned from life experience and divine appointments along the way. It would be selfish to not share. Some of what we are sneaking in the corners of your crowded case, you may already have, but a little extra of THESE items will never hurt.

Plus a few extras:

Pondering the word "dwell"- What are the things we dwell on? What could we ponder instead?

How do you quiet your mind?

And the quote:

"Be who you needed when you were younger!" What would that look like?

Enough is enough.

Failure is not the finish line.

Two generations talking about creativity, faith, life, pretty much everything...
