## Abstract
This study addresses the conceptual gap between biblical prophetic traditions and contemporary sustainable church leadership models, which often prioritize managerial efficiency over spiritual–moral authority. It constructs a biblically grounded, three-dimensional model of prophetic communication—comprising ethical, transformative, and transcendent dimensions—and analyses its potential role in fostering leadership sustainability. Employing a qualitative methodology integrating biblical exegesis (semantic analysis of Hebrew nebu’ah and Greek propheteia) and theological synthesis of contemporary literature (2019–2025), the research identifies this model as a promising framework for church leadership. Findings suggest that prophetic communication may strengthen spiritual authority, foster systemic accountability, and cultivate truth-centred dialogue essential for navigating moral complexities of the digital age. However, the study acknowledges the hermeneutical challenge of moving from biblical texts to contemporary practice and calls for empirical testing of the model. The study concludes that embedding prophetic communication within leadership praxis warrants consideration as both a strategic and theological imperative for guiding ecclesial communities toward long-term health, resilience, and faithful participation in the Missio Dei.
