"Gentle Protectors are willing to share in the pain that they create...Predators want to put their pain on you so they don't feel any of it."
~ Jen Coursey
Elders are so important in building relationally healthy communities. Without them we are missing a key part and it's nearly impossible. What is the role of elders in community? What does healthy community look like? How do we glean their wisdom? In this new series, Wisdom Keepers: The Role of Elders in Building Relationally Healthy Community not only will these questions and many more be answered, the answers will come directly from Elders.
Living and leading when your heart motivation is love is a beautiful thing. You bring peace, stay curious, and set a culture of connection and authenticity. But what happens when you are basing everything from this place of fear. When all your actions, thoughts, and questions are dipped in fear. Sometimes fear even masquerades as love. The fear of present pain out ways the love found in future health.
Join Tennison and Ginelle as they conclude their conversation with Chris and Jen Coursey as they explore the concept of elders as gentle protectors. True elders (gentle protectors), will call us back to who we are designed to be even if it causes pain. This pain is used to grow us not hinder us. Elders are not afraid of this pain and are willing to carry it with us.
