Congregations are intergenerational, but many fail to make the most of the amazing gifts of generations learning together. Instead, peers are segmented from the whole to talk about faith and help each other grow spiritually, creating an unintentional disconnect within the congregation.
Live, Learn, Pass It On! is written to help the church build on its greatest asset, people… as they pass on understandings of faith and discipleship to the next generations.
As a pastor or lay leader, your single-most goal is helping people mature in their faith. Research tells us that people learn best in one-on-one situations or small groups of multi-aged people. Furthermore, studies say the church can do a better job in bringing wholeness in persons and the world by facilitating intergenerational learning and life.
"This books attempts to honor the God-given strengths and life experiences of people of every age and encourage them to use these for the good of others and to the glory of God," writes Meyers. "God has blessed you with experiences and wisdom that others need. If you're not satisfied with the spiritual maturity status quo, join me in dedicating yourself to prayerfully, carefully and systematically working to foster faith maturity in your congregations."
Meyers provides a practical overview of multi-generational learning that includes models, stories, biblical and theological foundations on which to build an effective, holistic ministry for all in your congregation.
"Patty Meyers has fashioned a priceless heirloom in this work, a treasure to be handed down to future church leaders…. This book is a must for the bookshelf of all church leaders," writes one reviewer.
