None: The Clintonian Model is sufficient for describing this phase of Moodys life. Moody exhibits the common highlights of Clintons Ministry Maturing Phase. The major activities of Phase III are ministry. The training that goes on is rather incidental and often not intentional. It is the ministry that seems so all important!

A leader who has learned major maturity lessons exercises ministry with a new level of spiritual authority. Leadership Lesson: "Torrey, we will let the other men do the talking and the criticizing, and we will stick to the work that God has given us to do, and let Him take care of the difficulties and answer the criticisms."
