Leadership Lesson Podcast: Season 3 Episode 1 - 5 Foundations for Shepherds
Pastor Glenn Shaffer, Destiny Life Church, Claremore, OK shares from the Word of God and from his own personal ministry experience about Five Foundations for Shepherds. In Acts 20:28, the Apostle Paul says to the church leaders at Ephesus, “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock.” What does this actually mean? Pastor Glenn discusses five areas of focus for all leaders: 1)Growing in personal wholeness; 2)Maturing in your soul (the mind, will and emotions); 3)Healthy in your family and marriage; 4)Strong in doctrine; 5)Be deep in prayer. Listen as treasures of wisdom and knowledge are poured out from the heart of one shepherd to another.
