In this episode of the Lead On podcast, Jeff Iorg, President of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, discusses the pastor search process. Iorg highlights that selecting a pastor is a critical decision for any church, especially in congregations that operate autonomously. He stresses the importance of forming a pastor search committee with spiritually mature and discerning individuals rather than just a representative body. Iorg encourages churches to approach a pastor search with much prayer, proper evaluation against a realistic profile, and to seek outside expertise when necessary.
