What standard do you use to measure success?
In our money- and achievement-driven Western world, where success is measured in very quantifiable ways by our current society, this becomes a very important issue.
You could, for example, be considered a huge success if you're wealthy, have a large house, several (expensive) cars in the driveway, or have a high-powered job moving fast up the corporate ladder.
On the other hand, you could be considered a total failure—that is, if you're being judged by certain current cultural standards.
Shawn Manley and I revisit this point in more detail in the second half of our conversation, and relate the metrics for success into the realm of the church also.
