Episode Synopsis


What kind of man should shepherd the church of God? In this profound message, R.J. Rushdoony examines Paul’s qualifications for a bishop—or presbyter—emphasizing that godly leadership begins not with office, but with character, calling, and household faithfulness. Far from mere titles or rituals, Rushdoony shows that true church government flows from spiritual maturity, family integrity, and the ability to teach. In a time when pastoral ministry is often reduced to personality or busyness, this teaching recovers the biblical foundation for leadership grounded in service, wisdom, and rootedness in the life of faith.
