Using Psalm 78:1\u20137, she frames the church as an extended family, walks through the different roles that make a healthy family function, and introduces the concept of the maintainer \u2014 someone who invests in the health, stability, and future of the family by preserving its values and preparing others to carry them forward. The challenge isn't for a specific age group. A 28-year-old can spiritually grandparent a 6-year-old. A 16-year-old can mentor a 45-year-old new believer. In the family of God, roles are determined by stage, not age. She closes with a personal story \u2014 a job description she wrote as a new mom over twenty years ago, and the very different one she wrote recently \u2014 and a direct challenge for every listener: write your job description in the family of God. Not a title. Your function. Your contribution. Because faith was never meant to stop with you. This is Week 1 of the Legacy Series at New Hope Church.
