In a world of metrics, platforms, and public applause, it's easy for pastors to feel invisible, inadequate, or envious. In this freeing message from John 3, Adrian Rogers looks at the life of John the Baptist to show us where true contentment in ministry is found—not in the crowd's approval, but in the Savior's glory.

With pastoral warmth and biblical insight, Dr. Rogers reminds us that our calling is not to be the star, but the friend of the Bridegroom - the one who prepares the way, then steps aside with joy. If you're struggling with discouragement or comparison, this episode will refresh your soul and reset your perspective.

"The highest place is the center of God's will. And you'd have to step down to be a king if you're already there." —Adrian Rogers
