Summary: Our journeys are unique, and as we get older we should be better able to help shape the following generations using our gifts and experience, but past failures, pride, insecurity etc in a fragmented Western culture that prizes individualism have helped create seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Reliance on programs and the professionalization of ministry have tended to hinder more natural connections between the generations.
