Leading People Who Know More Than You Do, Feb. 7, 2025

A Word to the Wise from Dr. Jim Shaddix
 
When asked to give advice to young pastors, Shaddix told SEBTS, “Everything comes back to the Word. We have to trust the Word to do its work. … Depend on that, start there, and stay there and trust that.
 
“Trust that to be where your content comes from, where your authority comes from, where your power comes from. Everything comes back to the Word, and I know it begins to sound trite when you’re constantly saying just preach the Word. But the reality is that’s what Paul said to do.”

2.3.25, Jim Shaddix, ‘champion of prayer and expository preaching’ dies at 64
