What happens when a generation forgets God? Pastor B returns from celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary with a burning question about spiritual legacy. Drawing powerful contrasts between Moses' intentional faith transmission in Deuteronomy and the spiritual amnesia described in Judges 2, this episode challenges listeners to examine their role in passing down authentic faith.

The breakdown is startlingly simple: Moses meticulously restated God's commandments to a new generation of Israelites, instructing them to integrate these truths into every aspect of their daily lives. Yet despite this intentional teaching, we later discover "another generation grew up who neither knew the Lord nor what he had done." This spiritual disconnect didn't happen suddenly—it resulted from gradual drift away from daily spiritual rhythms and honest storytelling about God's faithfulness.

Today's mentors face unique challenges. Many hesitate to share their spiritual journeys transparently, fearing judgment over past failures. Yet these very stories—complete with struggles, sins, and God's redemptive grace—provide the most compelling testimony to younger believers that "mistakes are not final." When we withhold our authentic experiences, we inadvertently suggest that faith requires perfection rather than persistent trust through life's messiness. At its core, mentorship means modeling how to love God with your entire being—heart, mind, soul, and strength—while demonstrating that true faith leaves no area of life untouched by divine influence.
