About this episode

The episode discusses the misunderstood concept of pastoral authority in the modern church.

Pastoral authority is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the modern church. In this episode, Pastors Ekkie Tepsupornchai, Kofi Adu-Boahen, and Nathaniel Jolly discuss the authority Christ has given to pastors and elders, why it is both real and necessary, and how it is always exercised under the authority of God's Word. Join us as we examine what Scripture teaches about leadership, submission, accountability, and the care of Christ's church.
