Welcome to Strength for Today’s Pastor. 

Our podcast title indicates our passion—which is to strengthen pastors and church leaders, that their churches might be stronger and healthy.

Today we have pastor James Chapman. James is an assistant/associate pastor, serving under and with senior pastor Sandy Adams of Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain in Lilburn, Georgia. 

Episode 181 is a recording of a message James delivered at the Deep South Pastors and Leaders Conference, last September in 2025. The title of his message is “Armor Bearers.” 

Having served pastor Sandy for over 40 years, James understands what it means to be supportive to the ministry of the senior or lead pastor. And in this message, James compares the ministry of the armor bearer in the Old Testament to his role. 

This message is highly applicable to elders, deacons, board members, and staff pastors and other leaders.

The text is 1 Samuel 14:6-14. He jumps right in as he opens his teaching.

Enjoy!
