They are all Americans.
Most are white.
Most work in large, upper-middle to upper class churches.
Do the people on the list even care?

I know two of the guys on the list and I know they didn’t care and one of them got ripped, ripped! into by some buddies the week it came out. It’s our job as friends to keep other friends humble.
sad
i think someone is just bitter they arent on the list. haha.
I think to rank the “top” ministers is a little goofy. However, I would be careful in how I approached this and that these ministers aren’t labeled as “sad”. Just because they get on this “ranking” system, doesn’t mean that they are some kind of evil part in the religious system.
So, how do they determine the ranking order? what makes one of the a 1 versus say . . .18? And what do they mean by “top”? Size? Length of service?
I guess I’m just dumbfounded. We’ll rank anything, won’t we?
why do you care? just looks like noise to me.
ha that list is funny. that’s a fine use of time.
I’ve been out of youth ministry for about 9 years…so this is what it’s become. Sheesh.
I’m so glad my high school daughter isn’t part of a mega-youth ministry. She’s been able to develop real relationships with her youth pastor and leaders. Not watcha show…
i think they really are the top 20 “most impactful to youth, helping, etc” they may just be top 20 “most liked by white guys”?
