Acts 29: Every Shepherd Needs a Shepherd
Great Stuff from Scott Thomas on the Acts 29 blog, writing about the need of shepherd leaders to be shepherded as well.
Here is an excerpt:
The church leader is not exempt from problems. Quite frankly, the supernatural spiritual attack on church leaders is enormous and relentless. Who is shepherding the shepherds? Where do church leaders find their pastoral care? For many church leaders, they have no idea where to find help. Yet, they feel lonely, abandoned, and vulnerable. They deeply desire relationships, but are not sure if they want to share their heart’s deepest concerns with members of the body–even other leaders, so they suffer in silence and as a result are not able to properly shepherd the flock where they have been assigned to oversee. The whole church suffers when the leaders suffer.
