Generational Faith

- Barry Smith

I believe in Generational Faith! It didn’t start with me, and it doesn’t stop with me. I received it, and I will pass it on. I’m writing this article while preparing for my father’s retirement celebration. I’ve been privileged to serve beside him since I was a child standing on a footstool, singing while he played the piano. Dad is, without a doubt, the most gracious, loving, and faithful man I’ve ever known. He is a man of God and of impeccable character. Now, I follow him as Lead Pastor of Generation Changers Church in Middle Tennes-see. This is the way things are supposed to happen; one generation, who loves and follows Jesus, passes the baton to the next generation. I believe there are at least two essential elements for a successful transition of the faith.
