Intergenerational Ministry: How Do We Know?
Posted by Liz Perraud at
I’m a big fan of relationships between and among generations. Especially in the church. I’m convinced these relationships are good for faith deepening, for serving others, and for all around healthy living. Likely it’s the way God intended for us to live (see Hebrews, Deuteronomy, the Psalms, Luke, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Colossians, etc.). I imagine heaven is not a “siloed” experience in any way, shape or form. Here are articles from Holly Allen, John Roberto, Kara Powell, Search Institute and others about the importance of these relationships. But how do we know if a church is...

Finding Lost Kids
Posted by Liz Perraud at
If you’re a teacher, a parent, love kids or have ever been a kid, you need to read John Leggett’s blog post “By Some Miracle of Grace You Became Her Teacher.” At GenOn Ministries, we have always believed in the importance of relationships in teaching (and we’re always teaching, whether we know it or not). The difference that one person can make in the life of a young person (especially) makes an impact for generations to come. Amen.

Google's big secret
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Google has discovered that the secret to “being a productive team” is to be nice. What GenOn Ministries has been teaching for over 50 years (The one rule of LOGOS: “Treat one another as a child of God. No one has the right to be treated as if they do not matter") Google took several years of interviewing hundreds of employees and who knows at what cost to come to the same conclusion. We could have told you that, Google. And it’s not just the LOGOS “one rule.” Google also concluded from their extensive study that when we feel it’s safe...
