The Heart of a Pastor - Pastor Rick Warren at the Pentecostal World Conference

In this powerful workshop at the Pentecostal World Conference 2025, Pastor Rick Warren shares the timeless calling and heart of a pastor — rooted in the example of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Drawing from John 10 and Jesus’ ministry model, Pastor Rick unpacks what it means to shepherd like Christ by doing the five things Jesus did: P.E.A.C.E. P – Proclaim the Good News (Evangelism) E – Equip Disciples (Discipleship) A – Alleviate Suffering (Ministry) C – Continue in Prayer (Worship & Dependence) E – Establish Churches (Reproduction & Mission) He urges pastors to stop copying worldly leadership models and instead return to Jesus' mission and method — not as CEOs, but as spiritual shepherds, spiritual parents, and disciple-makers. 📩 Want the workshop notes?
