Wisdom Keepers: w/Michel Hendricks- Characteristics of True Elders

Tennison & Ginelle Barry, & Dr. Michel Hendricks Season 3 Episode 29

"Elders by definition have a really well developed right brain skill set...they know how to model a secure attachment,...attune to others emotions even if they don't agree with what happened,...very good at seeing the gold in a person that is not readily apparent,...they are not worried about defending their image,...and they naturally act like themselves rather people are happy about that or not." ~ Michel Henricks

Elders are so important in building relationally healthy communities. Without them we are missing a key part and it's nearly impossible. What is the role of elders in community? What does healthy community look like? How do we glean their wisdom? In this new series, Wisdom Keepers: The Role of Elders in Building Relationally Healthy Community not only will these questions and many more be answered, the answers will come directly from Elders.

The role of Elders in building healthy communities is incredibly important. They impact the life, health, and growth in ways that you may not even realize. So having healthy, mature elders is a must if the community is to thrive. But how do  we recognize them when we see them? What do they look like? 

Join Tennison and Ginelle as they begin a conversation with Michel Hendricks, Director of Life Model Consulting, and co-author of The Other Half of Church.  In this episode they discuss the characteristics of elders and how these characteristics enrich and develop the communities that they are a part of.
