Is This the Generation of Change?

I was watching this clip from LeadNow speaker Marcus "Goodie" Goodloe on Nehemiah. God used Nehemiah’s generation to change the world. The RightNow Campaign has a passion for our generation. When people think about the word generation, Tom Brokaw and his book, The Greatest Generation quickly comes to mind. The book is a magnificent picture of a generation’s tenacity to endure such hardships as the Great Depression and World War 2 in route to building America. I like that. I like honoring great men and women for their efforts. I’m proud that my Grandfather fought in World War 2. But I don’t want to be the Greatest Generation…

…The RightNow Campaign is a movement of 20 & 30 somethings trading in the pursuit of the American Dream for a world that desperately needs Christ! We don’t need to become the Greatest Generation; we need to become the Generation of change! Erwin McManus, while speaking at one of our past Fusion events said this:

“What I like about RightNow is that it’s not centered on believers. It really is centered on calling the church out to care about the world. And that’s not only needed… It is what will change this time in history.”

Erwin and Goodie are telling us that we can be the Generation of change, but in order to do it we must do away with the myopic view of life that has permeated our culture and realize that when the Church becomes activated then change will happen. We can be that Generation!
Erwin, Goodie and many others will be at LeadNow08 in Orlando, April 24-26 and Dallas, November 13-15. I hope to see you there!
