THIS WEEK’S LESSON

Purpose

Watch “A 10-Year-Old’s Vision For Healing the Planet” (7-min video) to hear the story of Genesis Butler, an animal rights activist. 

Reflect:

  • Genesis found purpose at six years old by asking her mom questions. What are the questions you think about? What kinds of questions are meaningful to you?
  • Even if you don’t feel the same way about animal activism as Genesis does (and it’s okay if you don’t!), what can you take away from her story?
