The Dangers of the Celebrity Pastor Mindset

In this episode of The Enduring Church Podcast, we examine the growing influence of the celebrity pastor mindset, where charisma, platform, and personal brand often overshadow humility, service, and faithfulness. We explore how this mentality takes root, why it’s so tempting in modern ministry, and the damage it can do to pastors, congregations, and the church's witness. This episode is a call to return to servant leadership, to prioritize character over charisma, and to remember that pastors are called to shepherd, not perform. If you’re navigating leadership in a platform-driven culture, this conversation is for you. Follow the Guys!
