Passing the Torch: How Churches Prepare the Next Generation

A healthy church is not built for one age group, one personality, or one moment in history. It creates space for every generation to belong, grow, serve, and carry the mission of Christ forward. In this episode, Joseph Mattera explores what it takes to build a truly generational church. He shares how leaders can honor spiritual fathers and mothers, empower emerging voices, transfer wisdom without controlling the future, and create a culture where generations work together rather than compete. The goal is not simply to preserve what has been built, but to prepare others to go further.
