Through our journey, we identified three pillars that help us walk together: ask questions, honor others’ questions, and share our authentic selves... These three pillars foster the kind of mentor relationships longed for by the next generation.

Christian Leadership Alliance President and CEO Tami Heim recently interviewed Dr. Arthur L. Satterwhite III, Vice President of Diversity, Belonging & Strategy for Young Life.

If we don’t first understand how we are to interact with culture, then our attempts at influencing generations will largely fall flat.

Eventually, the next generation must be ready to take the reins, and it is our responsibility to prepare them for it. But what does this generational transfer look like?

On a thriving intergenerational team, it’s not just the senior team members mentoring those younger than them. Your successful team will display all three essential mentoring relationships...

The journey to empowerment starts with a foundational characteristic: coachability. This is not just about the willingness to learn but embracing a posture of humility and openness that catalyzes both personal and professional growth.

The culture of your organization matters. It matters for the people you are trying to reach. It matters for the people you are trying to lead, whether they are staff or volunteers. And it matters to you.

Story is the native language of the next generation. They consume stories on YouTube. They craft stories for social media. They crave stories for the savory tastes of drama and the sweet morsels of redemption.

A community which practices keychain leadership is a community willing to empower young people to lead in significant ways, help equip them for the roles and walk alongside them in support as they learn.

Today, many ministries wrestle with a generational challenge in their efforts to build high-performing teams and maximize their impact... Together is better for many reasons, but it is almost always harder.
