Episode 54: The Next Generation is Ours to Raise
What can you do to make this Lent the most fruitful Lent ever? Join Lisa and Laura as they dive into the Walking with Purpose Bible study, Passionate Discipleship. In nine powerful podcast episodes, they'll unpack Paul's wisdom to his closest friend, Timothy, and reflect on how we can apply it to our lives today. As we grow in personal holiness, we will boldly step into our call as true disciples by reaching out to the next generation and passing on all that we’ve learned. Are you ready to put away despair and resurrect hope as we rise to the call of discipleship? If so, grab your study guide and settle in. We have a generation to raise.
Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
2 Timothy 1:7: God has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power and of love and a sound mind. (NKJV)
Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
Judges 2:6–10: When Joshua dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land … And all that generation were also gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.
2 Timothy 1:5 (1–7): I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you.
Acts 16:1: And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
Make two lists.
List your fears and all the excuses why you are not equipped to step out and disciple others.
List your gifts, traits, talents, passions, and God-given uniqueness. Ask the Lord, “Is there something on this list that You have given me for the sake of leading others to You?”
Is there a young woman in your life whom you want to know Christ in a personal way? Write her name down and share it in our Facebook group. Let’s start praying for the next generation by name.
