We lose sight of true spiritual leadership, of what it really takes to shepherd people.

And now people respond resoundingly to their authentic, convincing witness-a sure sign of their spiritual leadership.

That rings true especially for those in positions of spiritual leadership.

Our communities have lost their spiritual leadership and not filled the void.

When pastors don't have large congregations or don't receive affirmation from their people, it's very difficult for them to provide creative spiritual leadership.
