Trust in church leaders has been shaken in our generation, leaving many people wounded and wary of returning. In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1–8, Pastor Steve shows how the Gospel offers a better way. God’s design for leadership is not built on charisma or success but on character that has been shaped by grace.

This passage lifts the curtain on what kind of men God calls to guide His people—men who lead with humility, steadiness, and care. The call to shepherd God’s people is weighty, but when the Gospel shapes a leader’s heart, it also brings healing to a hurting church.
