| 6/2/26 |  On Raising Up Leaders Part 4 (Ep. 335) | In the season finale of Pastors Talk, Jonathan Leeman is joined by Ligon Duncan and Michael Lawrence to discuss the state of the pastoral pipeline — examining why fewer men are entering ministry, the role of demographics and seminary debt, and what healthy churches and seminaries can do about it. | 51m 33s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | On Raising Up Leaders Part 3 (Ep. 334) | In part three of their series on raising up leaders, Jonathan Leeman and Mark Dever work through nine practical principles Mark uses to identify and develop future pastors — from spotting qualified men and extending trust early, to delegating well, cultivating feedback loops, embracing a healthy view of authority, and modeling clarity and humility. Along the way they discuss why spending time with a few people often matters more than chasing a platform, and why a senior pastor who always wins the vote is quietly undermining his own eldership. | 31m 03s | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | On Raising Up Leaders Part 2 (Ep. 333) | Jonathan Leeman and Mark Dever continue their conversation on raising up leaders, exploring the connection between discipleship, evangelism, and church planting, how to measure ministry fruitfulness beyond numbers, and what it means to steward your church for the next pastor. | 24m 59s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | On Raising Up Leaders Part 1 (Ep. 332) | In this episode of Pastors Talk, Jonathan and Mark dive into the essential, yet often challenging, practice of raising up leaders and passing out authority.
