The Middle 70%

Recently Ive been thinking about how much of a leaders energy goes into 30% of the people in their community. For a youth worker, that means youre investing lots of energy into the 15% of your kids who are doing super great and the 15% of your kids who are really struggling.
But what about that middle 70%? Whos investing in them? They arent as high maintenance or shiny as the other 30% but theyre probably the majority of your kids.
Maybe its time to look down the list of your kids and ask questions about each kid:
- How is this kid doing in their journey with God?
- How could our ministry help this kid move a bit forward?
- What adult(s) are investing in this kid?
Lets not ignore the vast middle
