In medieval England, royal heralds rode ahead of the king's procession—speaking with authority but always stepping aside when the king arrived. John the Baptist understood this role perfectly. Standing in the Jordan River with crowds gathering around him, he declared: "He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear."

This is the tension everyone in ministry lives with: speaking boldly about Jesus while maintaining humility that remembers we're just messengers. Drawing from Psalm 72, Isaiah 11, Matthew 3, and Romans 15, Josh explores how the herald's task shapes both our worship and our witness. What the psalmist prayed for, what Isaiah prophesied, what John announced—we now proclaim as accomplished fact. The Mighty One has come.

Real wisdom for those called to point beyond themselves. Where Sunday's worship meets Monday's witness.
