Breaking away from traditions

This is something that I have thought about for a while, what do we do when we are faced with tradition, but also look at how young people live today. I was speaking with someone last week, and they said, and admitted they were, and still are very much traditionalist in their approach, but wanted to see yuoung people touched by the love of God. So the challenge is for us, are we prepared to keep hold of the things in tradition that are helpful, let go of those things which are not, and in essence listen to God as to a way forward as aoposed to the tradition we are used too. I am sure that many founding fathers listeneed to God, and am sure there is some good stuff in traiditonal elements, but to listen, follow, and accknowledge God is always going tobring more fruit than following what always happens.
