Have you ever wondered what it means to pass the torch? Come and explore how Elisha’s call speaks to us today about mentorship, leadership, and the importance of raising up the next generation. How can we ensure that our faith and values are carried forward? What does it mean to be both a mentor and a mentee in our spiritual journeys?
Jesus told a parable using talents as the focus. Even though the talents were money in Jesus’ day this is not a self-help story about improving your finances. Jesus is not talking about multiplying the amount of money that we make. He is talking about something else. He is talking about the life we are given. The successes and failures we experience in life. The strengths and frailness that makes up our life. And we are challenged to use these good and bad experiences in our life to make the world a better place. But sometimes our tendency to avoid risks causes us to bury these talents.
