Listen "Shepherding: Qualifications for Elders #1"
Episode Synopsis
Why does Scripture call for more than charisma in church leadership? In this lesson on elder qualifications we explore 1 Timothy 3:1-7 with insight from Richard Baxter and Samuel Logan Brengle, tracing four essential traits: aspiration, relationships, spiritual maturity, and public reputation. Learn how hidden valleys shape future shepherds, why a one-woman man matters, and how testing protects the flock. Perfect for search committees, small-group study, or anyone praying for healthier congregations, this video blends pastoral stories, ancient wisdom, and practical questions to guide your next steps in recognizing genuine overseers. Watch to sharpen your discernment, strengthen your church, and honor the Chief Shepherd who entrusts us with souls.
