Episode Details

Gen Z — those born between 1997 and 2012 — are making what’s old new again. Buying vintage from secondhand stores and consignment shops is the new craze. Some call it “thrifting.” I call it “re-purposing.”

As we age, it’s tempting to think we are “past our expiration date,” or that we no longer serve a purpose. While it’s true that we can no longer do everything we used to, through Christ we have been made new. The old is gone (yes), but

the new has come. We are older (yes), but we are a beautiful mix of past and present, gifted by God in unique ways. We’re vintage, and if we look hard enough, we’ll find ways to re- purpose our gifts by the power of God. Happy thrifting.
