In a church world that is prone to adopt leadership styles from places other than the Bible, or Jesus Himself, this book takes a look at what made Peter the pastor/church leader that he was.  In this episode we will dive into chapters 1 & 2 and begin taking a look at Peter's Paradigm, a biblical model for pastoral leadership.   

This episode we will cover the mandate, as well as 6 of the 8 imperitives surrounding Peter's Paradigm.    

Just a heads up:   I do not have a transcript for these episodes.  Pastor Vainio's book can be purchased on Amazon, the link is below.    Also, due to time and production dynamics, not all quotes in the book are attributed in this audio format.  This book has at least 155 citations, and a bibliography that runs about 4 pages long.  It is well researched!!!   That being said, please keep in mind that if you would like to get references to quotes that may not have been atributed in these episodes, you will need to get a copy of the book.
