Generation Quote by Fred Stoeker
““Brett and Alex Harris posed serious, exciting questions to our generation in their book, Do Hard Things: Could it be teenagers today are faced with a unique opportunity to do hard things—not just as individuals, but as a generation? And not just any hard things but big, history-shaping ones?… What is possible when a generation stops assuming that someone else will take care of the brokenness in the world—or that someone else will capitalize on current opportunities—and realizes that they are called to take action?””
