The Second Man

Robert Ferguson’s “Second Man” teaching emphasizes the significant role of being the supportive second-in-command, particularly in ministry contexts. He shares his experiences at Hillsong Church, illustrating how he was always prepared to step in with a sermon if the lead pastor was unable to preach. Ferguson explores the idea that many are divinely called to be the “second” rather than the primary leader. His insights underline the importance of readiness and humility in serving effectively in a supporting role, highlighting how crucial this position is to the seamless functioning and success of the church’s mission.
