Listen in as Marlene talks about her dream for what a growing, healthy community looks

In this episode, Tennison and Ginelle continue their conversation with Marlene Allen and discuss how elders can prevent, protect, and even heal individuals from church hurt. Also, what does it look like to be an Elder in the Kingdom?

Elders who are deeply rooted, know who they are, and can see those around them through the eyes of heaven are invaluable in their community.

As elders also share stories of how it is for us to act, they create safety and security for the community at large.

Elders also fill the holes in the community that arise because of the immaturity that is present.
