Six Things I Pray I Won't Do as a Senior Adult in My Church
About this Episode
For Thom, it’s a present reality, for Sam it’s a prayer for the future. Listen as Thom and Sam discuss the attitudes each pray to avoid as senior adults in the church.
Highlights:
* Have an entitled attitude because of my giving to the church
* Say "I've done my time"
* Focus more on recreation than serving
* Complain
* Be more concerned about my preferences than the needs of others
* Lose my zeal for evangelism
Other highlights:
As a senior adult with discretionary income, give joyfully with no strings attached.
There is always a role for servants regardless of age.
For a senior adult with health issues, the role of prayer warrior is one way to stay connected to the church body.
Once you become preference driven, it is easier to become a complainer in the church.
Resources mentioned in today's podcast:
* End of Year Sale
* Pray and Go
* Revitalize Network
