Walking Alongside Youth, Almeda Wright – Video and Discussion Outline
Rev. Dr. Almeda Wright talks about how to walk alongside youth in their journey.
Questions for Discussion:
- What might it mean for our young people that God speaks, and helping youth explore what it might look like to listen to God through practices?
- What would it look like for our youth to name and claim the centrality of our faith?
- Do we believe that we all are called to something? What might it look like to foster this understanding with our youth? What opportunity might there be for mentoring here?
- What is the difference between a profession and a vocation? Is this splitting hairs, or is there more to this practice of wordsmithing?
- What is behind the question, “How are you living for God?” How might we adults answer that question?
