Tim,

You should provide a copy of the evaluations.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Which means, go and post these thoughts about adults and their own responsibility as a respons to my post so I can blog about it myself!

Tim,

It's funny, as I was crafting my original response, my default was to the adults not taking responsibility for their own faith, but the post looked like I was casting blame at the church leadership (which realistically, is where it falls). I simply wasn't ready for a blog post of that magnitude today! I need to spend some more time on that post before I write it!

That said, I do believe parents want to, but we've not equipped them. Now, if we equip them and they still don't, then I would be in agreement with you. I believe that we should start by equipping. And that's tomorrow's post!

Jordan,

That's exactly the model that we should be seeking. Equipping the family and then supporting them in their role.
