For Apostle Dr. Stacey Woods-Burris, the command was unmistakable: "Feed My Sheep." But as an established Apostle and Prophetess, she quickly discovered that saying "yes" to the Pastoral call was only the beginning of a journey filled with hidden challenges, traditional pushback, and a flood of questions that no one seemed ready to answer. From holding the first services in her Alabama apartment to navigating the heartbreak of "ministry comparison," Dr. Woods-Burris learned the hard way that not every church is called to be a traditional crowd-gathering ministry. Some are called to be Apostolic Hubs —training grounds designed to equip, empower, and release the five-fold ministry into the earth. Positioned to Pastor is the manual Dr. Woods-Burris wishes she had in 2007. It is a raw, honest, and deeply practical guide for the emerging leader who feels called to shepherd but refuses to fit into a religious mold. Inside this compilation of class notes and hard-won wisdom, you will discover: The First Year Strategy: How to navigate the "shaking in your stilettos" moments of a new assignment. - Apostolic Pastoring: Understanding the unique grace required to be a "Pastor’s Pastor." - Kingdom Culture: How to identify the specific DNA of your church and reach the people God has assigned to you . - Sustainable Success: Establishing ethics, policies, and procedures that ensure your ministry thrives beyond the initial fire. If you have ever felt like a failure because your ministry didn't look like the mega-church down the street, this book is your permission to be different. It is time to stop trying to "have church" and start being the Body of Christ.
