Pastors Aren’t the Brand

Pastors should avoid personal branding and cultural pressures that center ministry around themselves, focusing instead on humble service that honors Jesus.

Character Matters

Pastors must prioritize godly character—specifically the fruit of the Spirit—over mere giftedness, because true, lasting ministry flows from who they are, not just what they do.

A Letter to a Midlife Leader

Persevere through the challenging years of ministry. Your faithful service matters, God is refining your character, and enduring now will lead to greater rewards later.

“Love the Clay”

Preach the text faithfully, but above all visibly delight in and exult God and the gospel so your congregation catches that same love.
