What One Renowned Evangelist Wishes He Could Tell His Younger Self
Faith Facts
- Biblical wisdom cannot be acquired quickly but is forged through years of faithful experience and spiritual growth
- Though we cannot change our past, we can share hard-earned spiritual insights with the next generation of believers
- Godly counsel passed down through generations strengthens the church and preserves Christian values in society
The pursuit of godly wisdom has always been a lifelong journey, not a destination reached overnight. As Scripture reminds us in Proverbs, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
We live in an age where instant gratification has become the norm, yet spiritual maturity cannot be rushed or manufactured. It comes only through walking closely with the Lord through seasons of testing, trial, and triumph.
While none of us can turn back the clock to speak to our younger selves, we carry a sacred responsibility to mentor the young people God has placed in our paths. The wisdom we’ve gained through decades of faithful living—the lessons learned from both victories and failures—holds immeasurable value for those just beginning their journey.
This intergenerational transfer of biblical wisdom has always been God’s design for His church. From Moses to Joshua, from Paul to Timothy, the pattern is clear: older believers are called to invest in younger ones, passing down not just knowledge but lived experience rooted in God’s unchanging truth.
In today’s cultural climate, where traditional Christian values are under constant assault and young people face unprecedented pressures, this mentoring role becomes even more critical. Our youth need guides who can point them to timeless truth rather than trendy philosophies.
The counsel of seasoned believers—those who have weathered storms, remained faithful through cultural shifts, and seen God’s faithfulness in every season—carries a weight that no amount of education or social media influence can replicate. This is wisdom on par with that of Solomon, tested and proven through real-world application.
As American Christians, we must prioritize investing in the next generation, ensuring that our children and grandchildren don’t have to learn every hard lesson from scratch. The preservation of our faith, our families, and our freedoms depends on our willingness to share what we’ve learned.

- Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox encourages believers to share their faith with confidence.
- Lennox stresses that evangelism is not reserved only for preachers, theologians, or those with extensive biblical knowledge.
- Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ in daily life.
Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox is urging believers everywhere to share their faith with greater boldness and confidence. He reminds Christians that the call to witness is not limited to pastors or scholars but belongs to every follower of Christ.
“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
Professor Lennox emphasizes that evangelism is not about having every theological answer or delivering polished sermons. Instead, it is about living out and speaking the truth of Christ wherever God places His people.
His words come as a timely encouragement to Christians who may feel hesitant or unqualified to speak about their faith. Lennox points to the biblical calling that every believer is a witness, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the hope within them.
