Preparing to Shepherd - What Does the Bible Say About That?

Want faithful pastors? Start where Scripture starts: 2 Timothy 2:2. Instead of head-only training, build a head–heart–hands pathway inside the local church—2–3 years of life-on-life mentorship, character testing, real evangelism and shepherding, with academics as ~20% of the whole. Kevin and Josh outline qualifications before credentials, how churches can "bring seminary home," and the practical steps for young men and elders to build a pipeline that multiplies effective shepherds.
