Take a step back. Realize that you can make a difference for your own children and those you impact in your church. The hard evidence for the truth of Christianity is abundant, and with TESTED you have a way of exposing kids to it for their own good.
The Church's Recent Past Does Not Have to be It's Future
Allen and Hannah left high school and left the Christian Church just like 75% of their youth group, and it wasn't even a hard decision. We had them for 18 years in our Sunday Schools, Wednesday nights and on retreats, and they chose to walk away from the faith. We had them for 18 years, knowing that as soon as they left home they would be surrounded and outnumbered by skeptics, religions and the claws of a pleasure-promoting culture hostile to Christianity. Yet, for whatever reason, we were unable to prepare them to survive and succeed as Christians in this world. Despite the determination and emotion of youth events they left the faith. How do parents and pastors protect our kids when we have already exhausted every resource and all of our energy and it still isn't working?
Information is not the Problem, Teaching and Testing Methodology Is
Brace was frustrated and concerned when he started learning about the problem. He searched for some information or curriculum that made sense, but couldn't find any. Brace found lots of great evidence for Christianity in Christian Apologetics books and even courses, but nothing that would be acceptable to address the size of the problem. The Church didn't need another book explaining the evidence for Creation or how life is designed; we have a bunch of fantastic Christian Apologetics books already. There are some wonderful Apologetics curriculums and schools too, but the great amount of effort and expertise necessary to implement them was far beyond what could work for the masses. We needed something different, something purposely designed to give the power to the parents and lay-teachers in Sunday School and pastors on Wednesday nights and at retreats.
TESTED is Trained format is the answer.
