Maturity stages build on each other. They have a compounding effect. You cannot fully complete any stage without having completed the one before it, so it's important to go back and check for gaps and work on getting those closed up, so you can more fully be who God created you to be in your current stage of life.
The Elder stage of Maturity is the most crucial and lease reached stage of maturity. Without True Elders in our community we fail to know who we are and how it is for us, as humans to act. The goal of Elders is to sacrificially care of the community, with joy. We are living in the result of a world without True Elders.
Join Tennison and Ginelle for the conclusion of the Relational Maturity Revisited Series. In this episode they explore what happens when people are placed into the position of elder before they are mature enough to be there. When you look across the landscape the Christian world you see this everywhere. The overall health of communities, organizations, and churches have severely suffered. It is not uncommon for the "elder to soon" be the cause unintial harm, pain, or trauma to their community.
