What are you willing to sacrifice or concede for the goal of healthy family dynamics? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Josh discuss: 

• Your kids are watching what you say, what you do, what you proclaim, and how those align. 
• Learning from our peers while in community.  
• Encouraging vulnerability. 
• Finding a shared common passion. 

Key Takeaways: 

• The Gathering gives opportunities for kids and adults, alike, to connect with non-profit leaders and learn and make a difference with important services and programs. 
• There are things that you are going to be assigned to do, have you made space to allow the next generation to carry forth something bigger than you?
• We don’t want to forget what is tried, true, and proven to work. But we also don’t want to forget to look at what might be, what ought to be, and what is coming next. 
• Stewardship with family should be amazing and life-affirming. It should show you the goodness of God. 

"Sometimes there are generational differences in what strikes our hearts as worthy of God's resources - worthy of our attention, worthy of our family’s capital - and some of these, you can frame it as disagreements. You can also frame it as a search for what you find as a shared common passion." —  Josh Kwan
