The Long Game
from The Gen X Disciple · host Gen X Disciple
In this episode of The Gen X Disciple, Patrick talks about “the long game” of faith—thinking beyond our own lifetime and intentionally investing in the generation coming after us. Rooted in Psalm 145:4, he unpacks the picture of one generation commending God’s works to another, not through vague hopes but through real stories of what God has actually done.Speaking as Gen X at the hinge point between older and younger generations, Patrick reflects on what we received—some worth keeping, some worth rethinking—and what we now have the chance to pass forward. Not a sanitized, performance-driven version of Christianity, but the real thing: the faith that held us when we didn’t know how we’d survive, and the God who showed up when we were at the end of ourselves.You’ll be invited to see the “long game” as people, not projects, and to identify one younger person in your life to intentionally invest in this month—through a meal, a conversation, a letter, or teaching a skill wrapped in honest testimony. One relationship, one story, one act of presence at a time—that’s how the chain of faithfulness continues.
