What should churches look for when selecting pastors, elders, deacons, ministry leaders, or even Sunday school teachers?

In this conversation, Lee explains why Scripture places one qualification above charisma, influence, vision-casting, and personality: the fear of the Lord.

Drawing from Exodus 18, Lee explores why godly leadership begins with reverence for God and how a renewed emphasis on the fear of the Lord can help churches and ministries identify leaders who will care for people rather than harm them.

🌱 If we want healthier churches and ministries, we need to ask a simple but essential question: Do our leaders fear the Lord?
