Pastor Hickman challenges leaders to return to being shepherds, servants, and faithful stewards of God’s people.With practical encouragement, they urge pastors to prioritize time with the Lord, resist a man-pleasing spirit, protect their families, and remember that success is measured by how well we care for the people God entrusts to us.
