A major area where I feel led to become a thought leader
involves the youth and newly-married couples. In current times,
the youth seem to be highly misguided, due to which they end
up on the wrong path. There are several instances where young
individuals take drugs, use weapons, and are involved in illegal
practices. By taking such unholy paths, they destroy their
present and future. As a thought leader, I can guide them
towards the path of Jesus so that they can lead a life that is filled
with love and honesty. Similarly, when I see newly married
couples that get divorced due to external temptation and
unfaithfulness, I feel they need to be shown a faithful and honest
path so that they can lead a happy and fulfilling life as a married
couple. I feel that by acting as a thought leader I would like to
extend help to such couples.
One of the key areas of research that is emerging in recent times
that I find interesting revolves around young individuals. Youth
are the future of tomorrow. They need to follow the right
direction so that their future can be bright and they can bring
about a positive change in their surroundings (Scribner, 2014). A
thought leader can play an instrumental role in helping youths of
the current generation to stay away from different types of
temptations that can increase their distance from Jesus Christ.
I believe that the Lord wants me to serve as a thought leader for
the youth so that I can guide them and help them understand the
true value of Jesus Christ. As a thought leader, I would basically
use the Holy Bible as my main instrument to guide and inform
youth to lead a righteous and honest path by listening to their
parents instead of getting attracted to worldly temptations
(Scribner, 2014). For bringing about a positive difference for him
in the specific area, I would use Proverbs 1:8-9, which states that
‘Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your
mother’s teachings, for they are a graceful garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.’
There is a slight clarification has been presented as compared to
the previous post which revolved around ‘becoming a thought
leader.’ I have presented an in-depth explanation on why I am
interested to serve as a thought leader for the youth generation.
Since the current youth seems to be lost and distant from Christ,
I want them to show them the direction towards the Almighty by
serving as a thought leader.
