This four-lesson Bible study examines the critical threats that can contaminate spiritual leadership and render preachers dangerous to those they serve. Drawing from the analogy of poisoned wells in ancient warfare, this study identifies four primary forms of pollution that compromise ministry effectiveness: success, entertainment, politics, and fear. Each lesson explores how these seemingly positive or neutral influences can corrupt a preacher’s calling, alter his priorities, and ultimately harm the spiritual welfare of his congregation. Through careful examination of biblical principles and practical examples, participants will learn to recognize these pollutions, understand their devastating consequences, and develop strategies for maintaining purity in ministry. This study challenges spiritual leaders to examine their motivations, priorities, and methods while providing biblical foundations for faithful, uncompromised preaching that truly serves God’s people.
We suggest completing only one lesson per day. This will allow you to fully immerse yourself in God’s Word at a meaningful pace. Your progress and position will be saved automatically as you go.
