"Cross-Generational Leadership" Our goal as leaders should be to make the biggest difference in as many lives as we possibly can. Without compromising biblical truth and principles, you can ensure your leadership can do this.
Strong leaders are cross-generational leaders. But, what is a cross-generational leader? Leading cross-generationally occurs when you are able to lead people in your own generation, the generation that came before you, and the generation that comes behind you. In reality, you must lead cross-generationally if you want to make the biggest difference with your life.
No one in human history has ever demonstrated a greater ability to lead cross-culturally than Jesus Christ. Jesus promised He would return, and thus all generations are looking for Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Jesus led and still leads cross-generationally.
Like Jesus, the apostle Paul was also a forward leader who led cross-generationally. In 1 Timothy 5:1-2, we read the words of Paul to his protégé, Timothy: Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and with all propriety, the younger women as sisters.
Through this text, God is teaching us biblical respect for each other. Forward leadership is biblical and calls us to embrace the love of Jesus for all people. Additionally, Forward leaders are spiritual and recognize that without power from on high, they cannot love all people like Jesus loves all people.
Today, pray for the Holy Spirit to fall upon you and guide you to think more cross-generationally.
“Lord, fill me and empower me today with the Holy Spirit. Lord, compel me to live and lead cross-generationally for your glory.”

About this Plan
Forward, focuses on seven distinguishing marks for leaders. In Forward, I call for a different kind of leader to rise up—a leader that guides people to a better future. These leaders—Forward leaders—are able to lead people to go further than they would have ever gone on their own.
