“Why You Should Be a Church Planter: Reclaiming the Role of the Shepherd” by Apostle Martin Wilson
In today’s ministry landscape, many pastors find themselves working in established churches, shepherding congregations that hired them.

For those seeking a return to the original vision of pastoral leadership, church planting can be a powerful, transformative calling. Here, I’ll discuss why becoming a church planter can fulfill the true role of a shepherd, addressing the issue of congregations hiring pastors and emphasizing the shepherd’s responsibility to seek out and lead the flock.
