017: You're More Than a Church Member-You're a Church Worker
What does it mean to be a "church worker" in today's church? In this episode, we explore Pastor Appreciation Month, the role of pastors and church workers, and how the early church in Acts challenges us to reimagine ministry today.
Join us as we discuss what makes great preaching, the importance of mentorship in pastoral formation, and how the early church's radical vision can inspire us to dream bigger about what God might do through His people. Whether you're a pastor, church worker, or simply part of the priesthood of all believers, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
We have provided the link to the sermon Pastor Jared has referenced in today's episode https://scholar.csl.edu/lifeteam/6/.
