Pastoral Guidance for Use

This list is for prayerful discernment, not title selection.

A believer may function in one primary calling with supporting expressions.

Discovery precedes positioning; positioning precedes commissioning.

All ministries in SDM flow through alignment, equipping, and release.

Closing Pastoral Reminder

Your ministry is not defined by popularity, visibility, or comparison.

It is defined by obedience, faithfulness, and fruit.
