Following a G.O.A.T.

As a ministry or church leader, can you imagine following the G.O.A.T.—the Greatest Of All Time? Can you imagine having to measure up to the standards and expectations this leader set?

When I look at leadership G.O.A.T.s in the Bible—those who were fully human and fallible leaders—I immediately think of Moses. He responded to the call of God, delivered God’s people out of slavery, and founded a nation. Imagine being Joshua, having to follow that kind of accomplishment. But we don’t see a decline in leadership under Joshua. Why?
