It is difficult for the pastor to meet the needs of the church. Pastors can be exceptionally busy with the affairs of the church — staff meetings, counseling, setting the budget; making sure the building is safe, clean and ready; and of course the work of prayer, study, and preaching. But has the church created a culture that unnecessarily differentiates between the leadership of the pulpit and the leadership of day-to-day ministry? What if pastors learned to lead more effectively from within the pulpit ministry? What if church members were encouraged to take heed of the doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction they received from their pastor every Sunday? Could better expositional leadership impact the maturity and trajectory of the church and preserve ministry resources?

On today’s episode, we have invited Dr. Scott Pace, provost of the College at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and Jim Shaddix have recently authored a book called Expositional Leadership: Shepherding God’s People from the Pulpit. We have invited Scott on the show to share some principles for preaching that will help pastors and leaders better address the needs of their church and encourage them in the work of discipleship.

As Christians, we know it is very easy to be enamored by talent in the church. We are all prone to regard charisma or intellect in our leaders. We tend to be drawn to those who are well-spoken or captivating. This way of judging the aptitude of existing or potential leaders is short-sighted in that we fail to prioritize the more significant criterion of biblical character.

Today, on the Postscript we have Dan Reneau, Pastor of Living Faith in Lee’s Summit, MO and faculty professor at the Living Faith Bible Institute. Dan is currently teaching the Pastoral Epistles course which is why he is here to discuss the biblical leadership quality of “vigilance” and why it is inextricable with the vocational call of the pastor or anyone shepherding in the Church.
