Great start Ty and others on the task force. I think it is a good first step in addressing the problem of "graduating from church" after their senior year of high school. During this process, my hope is that the CRC and DYM will find ways to partner with local churches to speak to the reality of our efforts to make disciples and to help them to overcome the resistance to needed changes. I have not met any church without a desire to train up their students to know and love Jesus. However, I have encountered too many that do not want to come to grips with current trends and adjust their programming to be as effective as possible. I look forward to hearing more.
