Listen "Shepherding: The Mission in Submission to Church Leaders"

Episode Synopsis

Hebrews 13:7-19 shows why healthy churches practice Christlike submission to shepherds and how that mission helps leaders teach, serve, and watch for our souls. With Jesus’ servant-leadership front and center Mark 10:42-45 and John 13 we explore practical ways to support elders and ministers, the biblical limits of authority Acts 5:29 and 1 Pet 5:3, and how praise, generosity, and prayer fuel a joyful flock Heb 13:15-18. Includes honest cautions about abuse, clear guardrails for accountability, and real-life steps any believer can take this week. Open your Bible to Hebrews 13 and walk with us toward a church culture shaped by the cross and filled with joy.
