A few months ago I listened to an instructor on leadership talk about the position of a futurist. The questions were raised more than once: how does one get this position and what do they actually do?

I am not here to provide an answer to these questions. However, the idea raised one primary question followed by several additional questions concerning leadership.

What does the future look like for leadership where we serve?

Is there an understanding of why this is important for the future?

Are plans being made for the next generation of leaders and how they will lead?

Will the legacy left behind be one of strong leadership.

Who is going to take the role of preparing these leaders for the time they are needed?

When will the plans be enacted?

These are only a few questions to consider, but the answers are vital to knowing the future of God’s kingdom. Are we ready?
