There will always be the call to LEAD. It is not a matter of saying it’s either you pastor or you lead. But it is painfully clear that we are putting leadership on steroids these days in our cultural churches.

Pastors MUST lead. But in the church, and in being the pastor (or whatever you want to call it today) you can’t get around the injunction of Scripture as well: pastor the flock.

³ Don’t shepherd by ruling over those entrusted to your care, but become examples to the flock. (1 Peter 5:3, CEB)
