I’m here just outside of Atlanta, at The Orange Conference. A company called Re-Think puts on this conference and I really appreciate what they’re doing. There are over 4500 leaders here, and this is only the 2nd year they’ve done this! Amazing.

In a sense, they are challenging all the philosophies of education we embrace in the church – but without “bashing” everyone. It seems like a humble approach to “re-thinking” how we teach and educate people. They have curriculum as well covering from children’s through students.

I am here doing a seminar titled, “College Prep: protecting our investment in kids.” I’m excited to be a part of this thought process here because I believe certain philosophies of teaching we typically embrace in the church are contributing to the drop out /or detachment of high school graduates. I just finished writing a chapter on this issue and what I think those flawed philosophies are. It should be interesting to see how people react to my thoughts on this.

I might have to take this chapter out after I see their responses…
