Author Joseph Sherrard wrote an article for The Gospel Coalition about his recent work, The Augustianian Pastor: Deep Wisdom for Modern Ministry.
"Too much is at stake in pastoral ministry to try to go it alone. When we preach, teach, counsel, and shepherd the flocks entrusted to us, we need more than our own resources, our own exegesis of Scripture, our own wisdom, our own pastoral instincts. We need mentors who will challenge us, who will help us see our own limitations, and who will give us what we can’t of ourselves give to our people."
