About this episode

Pastors discuss the intertwining of generational faith and the importance of passing the torch in spiritual journeys.

Join us in this episode as Pastor Dustin Smith, Pastor Tom Trout, and Jordan Smith sit down together to talk about "Generations" and how God weaves old men's dreams and young people's visions into one burning flame. Walking through Joel 2 / Acts 2 and the story of Elijah and Elisha, they explore how God is not just the God of your lifetime but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—a 500‑year God you're part of right now. You'll hear stories of revival, miracles, and God's faithfulness across decades, and how those memories aren't meant to stay as nostalgia but to fuel faith for what He wants to do next. Together they unpack three generational roles—those who remember and tell the stories, those who steward and build the "canvas," and those who run with fresh vision—and how honor, humility, and blessing keep all three moving in step instead of in competition. You'll be challenged to break agreement with family curses, receive generational blessing, and see yourself not as starting from scratch with God, but as carrying a torch that's meant to light many others before you take your last breath.
