Humility
Pastoral Leadership

“Unfortunately, many of the men who ‘inspired’ me in my early years of ministry were all celebrities who have since been released from their pastor jobs.

Well-said. I’m hoping that one positive that comes out of all the celebrity pastor train wrecks is that men and women love and pray for their own pastors more.
