Christians often think about the responsibilities of pastors to their flocks, but today James and Jonathan flip the script and consider the responsibilities of church members toward their pastors. Drawing insights from the works of John Owen, our hosts explore the biblical mandates for honoring, submitting to, and praying for ministers, emphasizing the mutual relationship between pastors and their congregations. 

When we submit and give honor to those to whom honor is due, we're actually doing something good for ourselves. – Jonathan Master

This conversation highlights the importance of pastoral care and the duties of church members in fostering a joyful and supportive church environment.

If your pastor is laboring without joy, it actually hurts you as a Christian. – James Dolezal
