HE SURE IS YOUNG TO BE TRYING THAT

Yes, youth idealism and immaturity have gotten many of us into deep weeds. I feel sorry for the people I tried to lead as a young minister. So many of them were gracious and patient in Christ-like ways. I'm grateful. 

So before you write off a young leader, maybe give them a chance? They might surprise you....

George Washington as Major – age 20

Augustus Caesar led 3,000 troops into Rome – age 18

Joan of Arc marched into Les Tourelles – age 17

Alexander the Great, victor over the Persian Empire – age ~25

Ben Silbermann founded Pinterest – age 27

Drew Houston founded Dropbox – age 25

Adam D’Angelo was CTO of Facebook at age 23

Billy Graham, pastor of Gospel Tabernacle at age 25

Dwight Moody taught Bible Class for 650 people at age 23

Shawn Craig, Minister of Music, STL – age 20

Well...some of these turned out better than others. :)
