Notes
Goals of Gerald's new book, When Life Gives You Lemons:
- Slow down and ask the right questions
- Redefine GOOD
- Key questions from the book: What's in my control?
God's control over the good and the bad and anxiety:
- God is sovereign and He redeems ALL THINGS
- We cannot attribute every bad thing (adversity) to God; because of sin, we have brokenness
- Anxiety and adversity are linked
- The purpose is to raise a resilient generation
Ministry to 18-30-year-olds:
- They desire authentic worship over excellence
- Beginning gatherings (as part of Mountain Lake) once a month from local colleges
- There is a way to be authentic without being weird; vulnerability
- Those who are brand new to faith, they are welcomed into the authenticity of faith
Student Ministry as we return from COVID-19:
- The BIG THING we want to do coming back should be second to COMMUNITY
- Ministry leaders individually call students
- Small Group leaders connect and increase community before returning
