Jesus on Leadership, Becoming a Servant Leader, Student Edition is a good resource for developing youth as leaders. Teaching Today's Adult Generations, by Louis B. Hanks. These are familiar words to most of us who claim membership in the generation known as baby boomers. Our lives have been flooded with activity, media, and commercialism. We are the first generation to be strategically targeted as consumers while we were children.
Boomers now occupy the largest percentage of leaders in our churches.
Teaching boomers is important not only for the value that Bible study has in our personal lives, but also for maintaining a solid and unchanging foundation from which these leaders draw when teaching others. Teachers must assimilate biblical content into their own lives and live as examples of what they teach. Their idealist nature causes them to judge the effectiveness of our teaching by how we live what we teach. Boomers seek spiritual satisfaction. They have a tremendous hunger for spiritual nourishment.
