Multi-generational Topics

Many of the issues facing our culture today are multi-generational. Sexual abuse and exploitation can breed in disconnected families. It is important to strengthen critical multi-generational relationships so that when the storms of life hit, mothers, grandmothers, and other caring adults are equipped and ready to step in with biblical principles to help guide the next generation in practical, life-changing ways. Titus 2 clearly calls women to disciple the next generation, whether their own children or someone else’s. Mentoring with a discipleship perspective can change lives and transform hearts.

“You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine” – Titus 2:1

“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” – Daniel 12:3

I traveled with the rekenekt graffiti wall for over 12 years and saw a common theme emerge. Families were disconnected. Many were not talking honestly about issues in their lives. Some were hiding deep dark secrets causing inner turmoil and preventing them from connecting. Parents blamed kids and kids blamed parents. In the end, no matter who was responsible, the outcome was the same: broken and disconnected relationships between parents and children that were at the root of many of the issues that were threatening their families.

Estrangement within families is common today, the message to reconnect is more important than ever. The messages from the graffiti wall are fascinating, heartbreaking, and downright frightening.  Reconnecting parents and teens proves difficult in this fast-paced culture where chat apps, texting and AI have replaced honest communication. An old tin can phone shares the idea that getting a good old-fashioned conversation started can go a long way to repairing damaged relationships and reconnecting parents and their children.

“For the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth.” – Eph 5:9

“Trish has a way about her that is endearing to children as well as parents. God has blessed her with the amazing ability to communicate His truths in an inspiring and humorous way. My high-energy, nature-loving daughter actually sat for over an hour captivated by Tricia’s teachings on manners. Mind you, this is no small feat! I would highly recommend seeing her speak; you will leave feeling inspired & rejuvenated!”
