I don't have a best selling youth ministry book. I don't oversee a youth group of world renown. People aren't talking about me on the other side of the planet.
I'm not famous.
I'm not a ministry guru.
I'm not Doug Fields, Josh Griffin, Tim Schmoyer, Tim Hawkins, Ken Moser, or Tom French (that's right Tom, you're amongst the immortals!).
If I held myself up to their standards I would feel pretty crap.
An absolute failure.
The good thing is... I don't have to.
The standard I have to reach is not that of world renown.
The standard isn't the largest ministry in the county.
Or my city.
Or suburb.
The standard I need to aim for is myself.
The yardstick I should be measured against is the Graham-who-is-making-the-best-of-his-God-given-talents-and-potential. Or the youth-ministry-in-my-particular-context.
