Supported by the Lilly Endowment through the D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership, Michael A. Milton introduces the Pastoral Training Model--a comprehensive, post-seminary framework grounded in biblical theology, historical wisdom, and peer-reviewed research. Integrating apprenticeship, scholarly reflection, pastoral family care, peer support, and local church formation, the model offers a practical pathway for sustaining pastors and strengthening congregational health. Written for pastors, church leaders, and theological educators, this book provides a hopeful vision for shepherding the shepherds for lifelong ministry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael A.
