In this episode, Jason Davis shifts his focus to leaders under 40 — millennials, Gen Z, and the rising Generation Alpha — and explores what it means to be part of “Generation Next.” Building on his earlier message to older sages, Jason now speaks to younger listeners about how to position themselves as teachable, humble, and prepared mentees who can carry the torch of godly leadership into the future.
Drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul’s advice to Timothy, Jason unpacks five essential traits for next-gen leaders, addresses the spiritual importance of perseverance, and highlights key pitfalls to avoid — all through a biblical lens.
