Ep. 176: Moving as a Solo Pastor to Plurality
How can a pastor move to plurality before pastor qualified men are identified? What texts might he preach to help his congregation see the biblical nature of pastors? What ought he do when the congregation is unsure about moving forward? What do you do when you and the congregation have identified another pastor qualified man?
Jim and Brian discuss these and more in this episode of Trenchtalk, the podcast of Practical Shepherding.
