It's also important to note that the office of pastor/elder/undershepherd is unlike any other. Hebrews 13:17 says that they will give an account for how they've kept watch over the souls of those in the church. This sets it apart from a CEO, sports coach, or miltary commander. The word "sheperd" is both a noun and a verb. Shepherds are supposed to shepherd. An elder watches over the flock in love in order to nourish them. How an elder leads matters because they are serving under the command of the Chief Shepherd who is coming again. When it comes to how we relate to one another in the church, humility is the common thread.
