Wisdom Keepers: w/Marlene Allen - Deeply Rooted Elders

"(Elders)... they are not running, they are this steady force,...whenI speak to you,...I am not going anywhere.  You might run off, but I will be right here waiting for you when you come back...That's what Elders get to do. They are creating space for people to be there best self." ~ Marlene Allen

Elders are so important in building relationally healthy communities. Without them we are missing a key part and it's nearly impossible. What is the role of elders in community? What does healthy community look like? How do we glean their wisdom? In this new series, Wisdom Keepers: The Role of Elders in Building Relationally Healthy Community not only will these questions and many more be answered, the answers will come directly from Elders.

True Elders bring stability, shade, and strength to their communities. Elders who are deeply rooted, know who they are and can see those around them through the eyes of heaven are invaluable in their community.  But what happens when Elders pull up their roots and try to replant themselves in a different community? Can they ever regain the depth of connection? Can they grow taller and stronger? Will their branch provide the covering they once did? If so, how?

Join Tennison and Ginelle as they begin a new conversation with Life Model Works Executive Director, Marlene Allen. She is an author, teacher, mentor, networker, licensed minister, and joy-starter. Her passion for teaching spiritual principles to young people led to a forty-plus-year journey of serving in schools and churches. Marlene is called ‘Momma Marlene’ by most, and she truly is and 'Momma' to all.

Listen in as Marlene talks about her own journey of up rooting and replanting. Discover how she continued to be 'Momma Marlene' in her new community.
