If I Were A Hobbit
For a good while I was fighting thoughts of inadequacy. I began working at Searchlight Church as youth pastor during my sophomore year of college. I drove two hours every single Sunday morning from Pennsylvania to the Jersey Shore. During that commute, I was bombarded by thoughts of inadequacy. You have to understand, I was driving from Valley Forge Christian College . VFCC is the hub of ministry-hungry students ready to serve their guts out for God. So how the heck did I become the youth pastor at Searchlight? I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn’t the right major. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have enough experience. All four pastors who worked at the church had years of previous youth ministry experience. They could have chosen anyone ; how did it end up being me?
