When it comes to church leadership, God doesn’t settle for mediocrity. In his letter to Titus, the Apostle Paul outlines clear, high standards for anyone who would shepherd God’s people. These are not just qualifications for those in positions of authority; they serve as examples for every believer on how to live a life that is above reproach. In today’s episode, Stephen Davey explores what it means to "raise the bar" in the character of church leadership—what God looks for in those who will care for His children. We’ll see that these standards encompass not only actions but motivations, integrity, and how leaders conduct themselves at home, in church, and in public. Whether you’re called to lead or to follow, these standards challenge all of us to pursue a life that reflects Christ. This message calls for a renewed commitment to character in a world where leadership is often reduced to charisma and success. Tune in and be encouraged to raise the bar in your own spiritual walk and support leaders who live out God’s vision for the church.
