During one session he talked about the questions people ask at different stages of life and presented a new framework toward understanding the concerns of each age group. I found this helpful as I think about those that I pastor, lead and counsel. The questions are: 20’s – Am I noticed? 30’s – Can I really make this all work? 40’s – Is there something more? 50’s – Can I hold on? 60’s – Have I become obsolete? 70’s – Was it all worth it?
