You read that headline right. I am shifting my allegiances to a new team. Who are they? Who will replace the Boys? It's the Denver Broncos. Why? You ask. It's pretty simple. They took a risk by hiring a young leader to become their next coach. While I know very little about Josh McDaniels what I do know is that he is 32 years old. What a bold move to higher a young coach to lead one of the premier franchises in the NFL! Hopefully it will be a genius move. Only time will tell. The Broncos aren't the only ones in the NFL who are into young leaders. The Browns have a new young coach. The Ravens have a young coach. The Steelers have a young coach. The Raiders had a young coach. If McDaniels is more like Tomlin with the Steelers and less like Kiffin with the Raiders then the trend should continue.
I am passionate about young leaders getting their shot at leadership while they are still young because I have seen the fruit of it in my own life. Every step of the way, someone has taken a shot with me stepping up to serve in places and in ways that the calendar says I probably shouldn't. I did Student Ministry when I was 18. I was played a key role in the launch of Parkway Church at 23. I became the Small Groups Pastor at Mclean Bible Church before I was 30 and I led the church's dream to launch ten Community Campuses at the age of 32. Now, at 36, I am leading Parkway Church to become a growing, thriving, healthy church that takes big risks for God.
The church needs to wake up like the NFL seems to be and continue to give young leaders a chance to lead in significant ways. I think that it is happening. Look at Todd Phillips, Steven Furtick, Bil Cornelius, Perry Noble, and dozens of others. God, through his church, is trusting the next generation to lead.
