Discussion 6: Are You Becoming Someone Others Will Be Grateful For?
Are You Becoming the Kind of Person Your Future Family, Friends and Community Will Be Grateful to Have?
Theme: Legacy & Responsibility
Scripture anchor: 1 Timothy 4:12
Opening
Young adulthood is often framed around what you can gain: education, career progress, money and opportunities. Maturity also asks what you are becoming for other people. Character affects future friendships, families, workplaces and communities. Legacy is not only something famous people leave behind; every person leaves an impact.
Real-Life Scenario
Two future leaders have similar talent. One listens, keeps promises, accepts correction and gives credit. The other is talented but unreliable and defensive. Which qualities make people want to build with them? What does this say about preparing for adulthood?
Let’s Talk
· What qualities make someone valuable to a family, friendship, team or community?
· Which character qualities are you actively developing?
· How do you respond when corrected?
· What responsibilities are you avoiding because you are waiting to feel ready?
· How can young adults practice leadership before having a title?
· What do you want people to experience because you were part of their lives?
Biblical Perspective
1 Timothy 4:12 shows that influence is not reserved for a particular age or title. Character and conduct can make a young person an example now.
Action 6
Practice one quality intentionally through a concrete act of service, reliability, generosity or encouragement.
Closing Thought
Legacy begins long before people call you a leader.
