I recently came across these words in an online article:

“Sixty-five is my rite of passage to elderhood, a place of willful obligation to family and community. The benefits I have been blessed to receive come with an immense obligation to the others around me. Anything less would be the epitome of disrespect to those who walked this journey before me.”

I decided to reach out to the author, Rev. Raymond Jetson, and this episode is the result. This is the first in a 3-part series on mentoring and it’s a powerful discussion about how we can share our accumulated knowledge, wisdom, and perspectives.

Scriptural Reference: Titus 2:2 – “Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.”

Guest: Rev. Raymond A. Jetson, Founder and CEO – MetroMorphosis; Former Pastor - Star Hill Baptist Church of Baton Rouge, LA
