Is this mega church pastor biblically qualified to lead their church? According to Scripture, pastors and church leaders must meet clear biblical standards—but does this pastor's leadership align with those qualifications?

In this video, we break down:

✅ The biblical requirements for pastors and elders (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, James 3:1)

✅ Where this pastor fails the biblical test for leadership

✅ How this church's leadership model raises serious concerns

✅ Why biblical accountability is necessary for church leaders today

Many churches today prioritize influence over integrity—but true biblical leadership is about servanthood, accountability, and godly character. This isn’t just about one pastor—it’s a conversation about how the church should handle leaders who fail biblical qualifications.

💬 Do you believe this pastor should step down? Does your church hold leaders accountable? Let’s continue the conversation in the comments.
