These older believers were once part of a majority group that understood the mission of the church was \u003ci\u003eto take control \u003c\/i\u003eof our culture to halt its evils. At the same time, Christians under 50 have lived their entire lives perceiving themselves as a minority that needs \u003ci\u003eto make credible\u003c\/i\u003e their faith to a secular, pluralistic culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese distinct experiences and perceptions have a profound impact on the priorities different generations have for church ministry. It's no wonder that younger and older believers don't always see eye to eye! But imagine what could be accomplished in the name of Christ if we could better understand each other and turn that understanding into shared purpose and aligned priorities? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBacked by thorough research, this eminently practical and hopeful book from pastor and scholar Bryan Chapell shows you how to open the lines of communication, appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church, and unite in one mission to impact your community and the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBryan Chapell\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a pastor and author known for presenting the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
