Pastor Bevans Welder from Bible Believers Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, Texas joins the guys to discuss the weighty matter of helping others prepare for ministry.
Takeaways
Mentoring is an essential aspect of ministry and should be a priority for pastors.
Pastors should invest in younger individuals and build relationships with them.
The transitory nature of ministry should be acknowledged, and pastors should focus on equipping others for the work of the ministry.
The role of a pastor is to train and empower others, not to be the center of attention.
Mentoring requires time, effort, and a willingness to listen and learn from others. Balancing responsibilities and not becoming possessive of one's ministry is crucial in sharing ministry effectively.
Humility, patience, and loyalty are essential qualities for young men in ministry.
The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in mentorship, and recognizing God's work in others is important.
The decision to enter full-time ministry should be made after careful consideration and a commitment to serving God wholeheartedly.
Pastors should seek close relationships with other pastors for support, counsel, and accountability.
