Admirable Pastors

Dear Victorious,

Are there any high profile pastors or religious leaders that you particularly admire? If so, why?

Elian T. - Upper Darby, PA

Dear Elian,

Yes, most of the high profile pastors that I would admire today would not have .com after their name. They would be the pastors or public speakers and authors who don't capitalize on their personal brand. It troubles me to see influential leaders set up their own web sites and build their own brands. Name their ministries after themselves is also a concern. The pastor or leader that I most admire is the one who will influence many - and then fade into the sunset one day without leaving a brand behind. Brands are for celebrities and movie stars - not for men and women of God.
