ABOUT

How does God define what a good leader is?

The Lord has not left us in the dark about what kind of qualities befit a spiritual leader. Scripture is replete with commands and examples for those who carry a burden for loving and shepherding Christ’s bride in the footsteps of The Good Shepherd.

Studies for Christ’s Under-Shepherds: The Man God Trusts with Leadership in His Church is a weekly teaching series for men who are active in or in pursuit of the Christian ministry. In this series, you are invited to examine biblical examples of how to apply the pattern of Jesus in ministry for the glory of God and the good of Christ’s blood-redeemed bride.

This series of warm and thought-provoking lectures is built as a free tool for gospel laborers to become the kind of men who can be trusted to nurture, serve, and care for Christ’s church until he returns to bring her to himself.

SUGGESTED USE

These 11 sessions were taught with pastors and future church leaders in mind but are also applicable to anyone entrusted with discipling others, such as parents or Sunday school teachers. 

In this study, Dr. Snyder turns to 2 Corinthians 2–6, Paul’s longest autobiographical section in Scripture, to carefully investigate Paul’s pattern as a leader. His pattern can be summarized with the statement, "Follow me as I follow Christ.”

Dr. Snyder's 25 years of pastoral experience and true concern for Christ’s honor permeate the study. If you are a gospel laborer, we hope you will join in and benefit from these 11 messages. They are ideal for individual study, small groups, or leadership training.

Each week offers an opportunity to submit questions regarding the study. Please send any questions about this topic and some will be answered by Dr. John Snyder on The Whole Counsel podcast.
