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. Almost all of the pastors I looked up to back in 2011, 2012, 2013 are now considered cheaters, liars, abusers, drunks, and narcissists.” - C. Leaders

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.
