## Resource

There are moments when someone places trust in your hands and steps back so you can carry something forward. A parent teaching a child to pray before bed. A grandmother showing patience through years of hardship. A mentor quietly living out faith in everyday choices. The baton is rarely passed with fanfare. More often, it happens in kitchens, conversations, long car rides, and ordinary acts of faithfulness that leave a lasting mark. Let's reflect on the responsibility and gift of passing faith from one generation to the next. Scripture reminds us that God’s work continues through people willing to guide, encourage, and make room for others to grow. Today we recognize the steady influence of those who nurture faith with grace, wisdom, and endurance while inviting all of us to consider what we are handing to those following us. Recorded Sunday, May 10th, 2026Message by Adam BurnsScripture: 2 Timothy 4:1-8
