Indescribable! After months and months of planning, countless hours of prayer and coordination, thousands of miles of travel, and five days of infusion, preparation, saturation, enjoyment, blending, and praising, the Lord gained what He was after: the corporate consecration of 1,300 precious young people! The atmosphere tonight, the last night of the 2015 National College Training, was palpable, electrifying, and unquenchable! And all who were there will have the memory of tonight stamped into their being. Lives have been changed and the Lord has gained what He is after!

This past week, there was a week-long national college training that took place. I went a West Coast regional one ~10 years ago, but at the time, most everyone in the country went to the West Coast one. At the time there were around 300-400 attendees. This one boasts 1300+ attendees. The subject of this college training: Age Turners. This is what I wanted to discuss, especially considering who this term is applied to, the younger generation of the LC.

Obviously, "Age Turners" is a peculiar sounding term that means nothing outside the LC. At some point, W. Lee spoke about “men who turn the age”, and I assume it was mainly his call for the young people to rise up. What troubles me is that I’m not sure how much any of the blendeds want to step into the background. Didn’t Ron say he wasn’t going to step aside for anyone? So what do they really want, college students going around calling themselves “age turners”? Are they encouraging ambition?

When I look at the LC as a whole, the #1 struggle that I notice is the issue of attempting to remain relevant in 21st century America while staying true to what Lee taught, and upholding the practices that they hold so dear. It’s obviously not an easy endeavor and a path that’s destined for failure eventually. The young people who haven’t fully bought into the system are the ones who are most “vulnerable” to finding the system irrelevant. How do LC leaders remedy this? They flatter them, they make the young people feel special and important.

Just call young people “age turners” and all the sudden you have them walking around thinking they are special and that they play an important role in “God’s move”. Sad to say, at one point in time I would have bought into all this. 10 years later, it turns out I’m not an “age turner”, I’m just a normal person doing normal stuff, and I’m content with that, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Hopefully others will figure this out too eventually.
