Isaiah 46.4: God takes care of people at all ages and provides them with the experience and gifts that are needed

# data[].attributes.body
Age relationships in the Bible should not be understood as competing with each other, but as completing each other (just like gender relationships): we are call by God to serve as we are.

# data[].attributes.body
Example: David was a strong leader at a young age. And he was the least likely among his brothers to be picked to be King, not just in terms of age, but also his occupation (his brothers were soldiers, he was a shepherd).

Relation between generations

# data[].attributes.body
To create a forum where people of all generations can share their dreams, hopes, fears, and ideas freely, without having to worry about being judged for what they say or what they think. It is clear that our hopes, fears, dreams and ideas are very different, and if we are not able to express them freely, in save spaces, there is no way we are able to build trust, which is the ground for intergenerational justice.

I would like to see the church being able to create such a forum of sharing, of listening, and of trust-building.

The idea that the earth being the creation of God. I am not necessarily talking about the creation stories from the book of Genesis, because those stories can become so complicated and hard to interpret, and easily misunderstood, especially because people tend to understand them literally. But just to understand that everything is created by God and we are part of God‘s creation.

# data[].attributes.body
It is obvious that different generations tend to understand the climate crisis differently, and the climate anxiety becoming so common amongst the younger generations. So for older generations to understand why the younger generations are so anxious about the changing climate, they need to start listening to the worries and the fears of the younger people, and try to understand where they are coming from, without trying to „solve their prolems“!
