Fathers For Sale: The Generation Using Each Other | The Shepherd's Bench Ep. 006
The Shepherd's BenchShow Notes
There's a generation of fathers looking for sons to use, and a generation of sons looking for fathers to use right back. In Episode 6 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi Dartey and Randolph Adjei sit with the uncomfortable questions: why we're born again but not delivered from tradition, why ministry has become a competition, and what's quietly replacing real encounter with God. In this episode: Born again, but not delivered from tradition... The unrenewed mind The competitive mindset: "I must build the next biggest church" Why do we assume only the devil can make things grow Ministry for honorariums... when preaching becomes a paycheck "You're not advancing the kingdom. You're advancing your ego." Nobody can outdo God. Nobody can outpay God. Why kindness and soft skills don't make you less anointed Don't ChatGPT what you're meant to get on your knees

Everybody cries to their pastor. Who does the pastor cry to?In Episode 10 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi Dartey and Randolph Adjei open Matthew 26 and read Gethsemane as a leadership text. Jesus, surrounded by twelve, creates distance in layers: nine stay here, three come further, and then he goes alone, and weeps where nobody can hear him.In this episode: The loneliest room is the one with a queue outside it Gethsemane: nine, three, and the little further Why Jesus wouldn't let even Peter, James and John hear him break "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death" — anxiety, fear, and the humanity of Christ How much are leaders actually allowed to share? The line between honest vulnerability and bleeding on your people When those closest to you fall asleep in your hardest hour Every man of God has a story — and the compassion no prayer could build A prayer for the leader who feels alone You are not the first to go through it.
