Wisdom Keepers: w/Michel Hindricks pt. 2 - Elders, Filling the Holes in Our "Cheese"

Tennison & Ginelle Barry with Michel Hendricks Season 3 Episode 30

"Maturity is like Swiss Cheese, our maturity has holes... When we only stay with people inner same age group, the community has all the same holes,... Multigenerational community is important because elders can see the holes and fill them. So as a community the block of cheese is one solid block..." ~ 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.

Join Tennison and Ginelle as they continue their conversation with Michel Hendricks and discuss how elders help the community suffer well and remind us of who we are in the mist of the suffering. Elders also fill the holes in the community that arise because of the immaturity that is present.
