Perspectives with Joseph Mattera

In this episode, Joseph Mattera explores what it takes to build a truly generational church. He shares how leaders can honor spiritual fathers and mothers, empower emerging voices, transfer wisdom without controlling the future, and create a culture where generations work together rather than compete.
