The podcast takes a thought-provoking turn as Glenn and Dr. Crawford explore the dynamics of mentoring and leadership within the church. They address the shift in approach from a consumer-based model of church attendance to one where individuals come as investors, ready to contribute. Dr. Crawford argues that the church must create an atmosphere that encourages risk-taking and experimentation in faith, where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities rather than failures. This perspective is crucial for developing a culture of empowerment, where the younger generation can thrive and discover their unique callings. The discussion also touches on the role of spiritual fathers and mothers in helping individuals identify their gifts and find their place within the larger vision of the church, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose that extends beyond mere attendance at services.
