This book, The Pastor's Guide to Leading and Living, is proof enough of this affirmation.

The Pastor Guide is simply put, a word to the shepherd of any flock.

As a shepherd we are so ordered by God not only to lead God’s people but more importantly be an example to them as we follow Christ example. Our hope is also being built as God guides us to lead His people. We should be 1st partakers. It’s not able us but about our God who positioned us to lead His people.
