Here is the clear results of what happens with poor leadership, better put 'irresponsible leadership'.
Judges 3:11-12 NASB 11 Then the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. 12 Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
Covid might be in that category. A test for the church as the World watches.

I disagree to some points. The gifts to the church, known as the Gift of Christ, found in Eph 4:11
11 And He(Christ) Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
in Greek, the word dōrea means gift, and Christos means Christ or gifts of Christ.
There is the training. for example, "Train up" as one does a child. or to study to show oneself approved unto God as 2tim 2:15 tell us to do.
Much of what you have identified, like the failure of pastors or failing churches, is not the cause.
But the effects of the following:
They have no substance. And they use up what is the essence of their ability and are not able to replace it and then suffer burn out.
You have to pray. You have to pull away and seek the lord to have your substances refilled. If you keep pulling from the Esseance and not refreshed and built up in prayer and seeking God, you will and are relying on your own ability, and then the gift God gave you suffers. We as ministers must be faithful
In the word of God and speak truth.
We must be men of Prayer and humble ourselves daily.
And we must wait on the Lord.
For our weapons are only Mighty through God! It is through God that the pulling down of the Stronghold happens, NOT in your ability to have a good message structure or ability to speak. Who made the mouth?

But the effects of the following:
- No prayer life
- No Biblical study life or biblically illiterate
- were not called by God
- they are trying to build a church instead of allowing God to build through them, building in vain
- left the Gospel message and replaced by entertainment
- Having a form of godliness but denying the power of God.
- burn out
