The Preachers Africa Needs (TARIF 262)
What makes a preacher truly faithful in God’s eyes? In this episode, we examine the difference between celebrity pastors and Spirit-filled shepherds.

We explore why faithful preaching transforms both churches and societies, and discuss the essential characteristics of a Spirit-filled messenger: conversion, godly character, devotion to Scripture, and a life of prayer. Drawing from biblical examples such as John the Baptist and Peter, this conversation challenges listeners to value faithfulness over fame and truth over popularity.
