When it comes to leaders being hurt by those under their care, it is not a matter of if but when. How leaders respond to these attacks reveal three key attributes that must be addressed. On the Ailbe Podcast, T.M. Moore and Rusty Rabon asked me what attributes pastors needed to develop to respond to sheep bites in a God-honoring way.

Although Jesus didn't lash out at those who reviled Him, He did have a very important conversation.

My book When Sheep Bite is all about seeking to respond supernaturally when we have been treated unfairly and unkindly. This book is especially for pastors, but I also shared several posts and videos for all Christians in a series called When Sheep Bite Sheep.

When I would be struggling with stick-to-it-iveness, my Mom would say to me, "Anything worth having is worth working for." From a young age, she was encouraging me to grind through the tough work to get to the payoff on the other side.

This is a great leadership principle, not only for leaders but for the teams they lead as well. Check out this clip where Greg and I talk about the grind necessary to achieve greatness.

My book When Sheep Bite will help pastors who are trying to grind through the painful experience of biting sheep. This book has helped so many pastors see the factors that led up to the bite, the biblical responses to bites, and the resilience we can discover to help these shepherd leaders stay faithful to God's calling. Check it out!

Psalm 98 is a call to worship because our King is coming to judge the world. Does that seem like cause for rejoicing? It certainly is when you consider how our King will carry out His judgments.

Even Charles Spurgeon—a man called "the prince of preachers"—recognized the heavy responsibility of God's call on someone to serve as a pastor.

The best resource a pastor can tap into is prayer, and I would suggest that the first person a pastor should pray for is himself. This is where my book Amen Indeed can be a huge blessing. This is a book that helps pastors turn the Scriptures into prayer. If you are a pastor who has been wounded in your ministry work, you may also want to check out my book When Sheep Bite.
