The Apostolic Pastor

By: Dr. Ronald E. Cottle

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Apostolic Pastor is a timeless guide to one of the most overlooked yet essential relationships in the Body of Christ: the bond between spiritual fathers and sons. Drawing from decades of ministry, study, and personal experience, Dr. Ron Cottle reveals how God appoints pastors “after His own heart” to shepherd, equip, and align believers for their destiny.

This book explores:

• The difference between being “churched” and truly “pastored”

• How to discern the shepherd God has chosen for your life

• The blessings of covenantal relationships in apostolic environments

• The role of pastors in equipping believers for maturity and ministry

• Biblical examples of father–son relationships that shaped generations

With clarity and warmth, Dr. Cottle shows that true pastoral ministry is not transactional but transformational. Pastors impart more than sermons—they impart life, identity, and vision. Readers will discover how to walk faithfully with the shepherd God has assigned, how to flourish under spiritual covering, and how to grow into maturity as sons and daughters of the Kingdom.

Whether you are a believer seeking deeper alignment, a pastor longing to shepherd with God’s heart, or a leader desiring to understand apostolic succession, The Apostolic Pastor will inspire, instruct, and equip you to embrace God’s design for spiritual fathering.
