By the Rev. Aaron Solberg, Fort Smith Recently, while indulging in that quintessential Gen Z pastime of scrolling through TikTok, a video of a non-denominational pastor caught my attention with these striking words: “Sunday School is the Church’s greatest failure.” And I think he might be right. We have raised a generation of children who do not know how to worship, who do not know … Continue reading Beyond Sunday School: The Church’s Call to True Discipleship
