Brian Croft and Jim Savastio explore how elders can move from transactional leadership to relationships marked by honesty, accountability, and friendship. From Acts 20:28, they show pastors are sheep needing care, and offer practical ways to structure meetings and culture so leaders can share real struggles wisely.

Should a pastor raise up Elders or move toward the process of having an Elder-led polity? How can pastors identify other Elders within their congregation? How can pastors intentionally raise up men to be Elders? What 3 qualities does Brian look for in an Elder?

Brian Croft and Jim Savastio answer these, and many more on this episode of Trench Talk.
