October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and while there are so many faithful pastors out there worthy of honor, I want to talk about mine.

Pastor Mike.

Not because he has a huge platform.
Not because he’s written a bestselling book.
Not because thousands of people know his name.

But because I know what it costs him to keep showing up.

I see the things most people will never see.

I see the weight he carries home.
I see the conversations that stay on his heart long after they’re over.
I see the prayers prayed when nobody else is around.
I see the hours spent studying, preparing, counseling, checking on people, answering calls, solving problems, carrying burdens, and trying to faithfully shepherd the people God has entrusted to him.

I see how deeply he loves people.

And sometimes, I see how deeply loving people hurts.

I’ve watched this man walk through his own wounds and still make room for somebody else’s. I’ve watched him get tired and keep serving. Get discouraged and keep preaching. Get hurt and keep loving. Carry things he cannot publicly talk about and still stand up on Sunday morning and point people to Jesus.

There is nothing glamorous about most ministry.

Most pastors will never have a massive following.
Most will never preach to thousands.
Most will never have their name on a conference banner.

They’ll preach to the same little church.
Pray for the same families.
Sit beside hospital beds.
Walk people through marriages, funerals, addictions, crises, victories, failures, and everything in between.

And then they’ll get up the next Sunday and do it all over again.

That is the kind of pastor I admire.

And that is the kind of pastor I’m married to.

Mike, I know this calling has cost you things most people will never understand. I know there are days the burden feels incredibly heavy. But I also know you love Jesus, you love His Word, and you genuinely love the people He has asked you to shepherd.

I am so incredibly proud of you.

Treehouse family, love your pastor well.

Pray for him.
Encourage him.
Protect his family.
Give him grace.
Tell him when something he preached changed you.
Remind him that what he is doing matters.

Not just during Pastor Appreciation Month.

Especially on the days nobody is watching.

I love you, Pastor Mike.

And I would choose to stand beside you in this calling all over again.

We have finished studying THE Blueprint.

Now comes the question that matters:

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH WHAT JESUS SAID?

Jesus asked:

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” — Luke 6:46

Christianity was never designed to create spectators, consumers, or people who simply accumulate biblical information.

Jesus calls us to FOLLOW HIM.

Real faith produces fruit.
Grace produces transformation.
Disciples make disciples.

In THE BRIDGE, Pastor Mike challenges Treehouse Fellowship to move beyond hearing the Word into actually doing what Jesus commanded—and introduces the next step in our mission: becoming a church intentionally equipped to make disciples who make disciples.

THE BLUEPRINT TELLS US WHAT TO BUILD.

NOW IT’S TIME TO BUILD IT.

COME SEE.
FOLLOW ME.
GO AND MAKE.

The Church was never meant to become a comfortable room full of people who stay.

Jesus saves us.
Jesus shapes us.
Then Jesus SENDS US.

Healthy disciples multiply.
Healthy churches send.
The Gospel moves outward.

You have a place to belong.
A place to be fed.
A place to grow.

But eventually, you have to go.

If Jesus designed leadership in His Church, then what is a shepherd actually supposed to do?

In Week 5 of Building a New Testament Church, Pastor Mike gets out of everybody else’s business and into his own.

This message is about the biblical role of a shepherd.

FEED THE SHEEP.
GUARD THE FLOCK.
EQUIP THE SAINTS.
ANSWER TO JESUS.

This is not a message about building platforms, protecting feelings, or keeping religious people comfortable. This is a message about biblical shepherding, spiritual accountability, wolves in the flock, and the kind of leadership Jesus designed for His Church.

If you have ever wondered:

* What is a pastor actually called to do?
* Why does biblical leadership confront sin?
* What happens when shepherds fail?
* Why does Pastor Mike preach so hard against consumer Christianity?
* Why do we say, “We are not building a bigger church. We are making better disciples.”

This message answers it.

Scriptures in this message:

* John 21:15–17
* James 3:1
* Hebrews 13:17
* Acts 20:28–31
* Ezekiel 34
* Ephesians 4:11–13
* Psalm 23

If this message hits you, don’t just watch it.
Respond to it. Repent. Obey. Follow Jesus.
