IN THIS EPISODE WE LEARN:
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Jason Davis speaks directly to listeners over the age of 40 — the “sages” of our time — about the urgent, meaningful role they play in shaping the next generation. Drawing on biblical examples, life principles, and practical advice, Jason calls seasoned believers to shift from success to significance, from accumulation to mentorship, and from retirement to spiritual legacy.
He unpacks the challenges of generational division and offers encouragement, wisdom, and tools to become godly mentors who pour into younger generations with purpose and love.
💡 Key Takeaways:
✅ Why sages matter: The younger generations are hungry for guidance, wisdom, and mentorship — don’t let media stereotypes or past disappointments keep you from engaging.
✅ The enemy’s tactics (from John Gordon’s The Garden): Doubt, distortion, discouragement, distraction, division — overcome them with trust, truth, encouragement, focus, and unity.
✅ Life Shifts for Sages:
Move from success → significance.
Be a river, not a reservoir (pass wisdom on).
Build bridges, not just forts.
Shift from “or” to “and” thinking.
Focus on soul work, not just human work.
Become an encourager, not a complainer.
Run toward purpose, not away from age.
