Table & Well Podcast

HOSTS: Tennison & Ginelle Barry

“(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 are looking for transformation in their community, and they carry the ‘weight’ of the community on their shoulders.

In this episode, Tennison and Ginelle continue their conversation with Marlene Allen and discuss how elders can prevent, protect, and even heal individuals from church hurt. Also, what does it look like to be an Elder in the Kingdom?

Listen in as Marlene talks about her own journey of uprooting and replanting. Discover how she continued to be ‘Momma Marlene’ in her new community.
