What Should a Pastor’s Authority Look Like? (Jonathan Leeman)

Jonathan Leeman discusses what type of authority a pastor has.
Jonathan Leeman is the editorial director for 9Marks and cohost of the Pastors’ Talk podcast. He is the author or editor of over a dozen books and teaches at several seminaries. His newest book with Crossway is called 'Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing'. In this compelling guide from 9Marks, Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good, but is essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue godly influence in their personal and professional lives.

This was very good. I commend him for having his Bible on his lap and reading directly from it.
