Hi friends,
I have been convinced that God does not call pastors but rather the local church confirms the giftedness of a man and encourages him to pursue pastoral ministry.
For those of you who agree with this view, how do we tell the difference between genuine and wise encouragement for someone to pursue pastoral leadership/teaching and people just being nice and saying “good sermon” or other non-genuine niceties? Hope this makes sense; will be happy to expound as needed.
Thanks !
EDIT: I guess ignore my addressing this to those of similar conviction. You don't have to agree with my position to be able to give advice on what I am asking about.
