On today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders to focus on prayer and the Word by meeting practical, often overlooked needs in the body. To help us unpack this biblical office and its implications for the church today, we’re joined by Pastor Mitch Dobson, Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI welcome to the Postscript.
