Elders are shepherds, not corporate board members. This lesson walks through 1 Peter 5:1-4 and highlights four traits every church leader needs.

- Watch willingly, never for dishonest gain.
- Serve because you want to, not because you must.
- Model humility by working beside the sheep, not above them.
