a Biblical thought...
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. (Acts 1:14)

a Book thought...
We serve because we have been served and because we follow a leader who models servanthood. (p57)
a Dave thought...
If we are going to transition the church to the next generation, both existing and emerging leaders will need to understand and appreciate each other's values. This quiz, developed in conjunction with the editors of Leadership, is a helpful start.
This tool is intended to foster dialogue between older and younger leaders about their divergent views and contribute to greater understanding between the generations. No test can fully reveal the nuances that exist within an entire generation, and you may agree with more than one answer for a question. Mark the answer that best fits your approach to leadership.

Hey Dave,
I was quite surprised I got a ministry age of 43...must be the traditionalist in me :)
And here I was thinking i was young, vibrant and super relevant...perhaps I am just the product of the leaders i have had in my life???
Today, irrespective of surveys that categorize you by age or ministry style. We livin in a time when our leadership maps are proving less and less reliable and cateroization will not help us find our way. Welcome to world that is the midst of change and transition and the struggle to discern the nature of leadership in this changing world. New maps are needed and they must emerge through an engagement with the biblical narrative.
