When considering if we are qualified to decide who can be shepherds, ask, “Do we live by the Beatitudes and Fruit of the Spirit?” If not, we do not have the right character to be choosing.

If we want good men to serve, we must be good to the men who desire to serve. Character points both directions, to them and ourselves.
