What is the role of non-vocational elders in the life of the church? This week, Anton Beetge, a lay elder at Brackenhurst Baptist Church, joins Tommie as they reflect on the calling and work of unpaid elders. Drawing from his own experience as an elder, Anton explains how the call to eldership typically involves both a personal desire to serve and the affirmation of the local church.

Anton describes the process that led to his appointment, including prayerful consideration with his family, a period of observation by the church, and opportunities to teach and preach so that his gifts could be tested and recognised. He also reflects on how serving as an elder has deepened his spiritual growth, particularly through the responsibility of shepherding others and working closely with fellow elders.

The conversation explores whether all men should aspire to eldership, the balance between fulltime work and pastoral responsibilities, and the practical differences between vocational and non-vocational elders.

The discussion highlights the importance of unity within a plurality of elders. Through trust, communication, and intentional fellowship, elders—both vocational and non-vocational—work together as servants of Christ for the good of the church.

What does genuine spiritual growth look like in a pastor's life—and how do you measure it?

This week, Doug Van Meter joins Tommie and draws on 32 years of pastoral ministry to explore the often slow, often humbling work of formation. They discuss why the qualifications in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 are both requirements and lifelong goals, how pastors should grow firmer theologically while becoming gentler in practice, and why ministry must flow from overflow rather than professionalism. They also speak candidly about the habits that sustain pastoral ministry: daily Scripture reading, reading for the soul rather than the sermon, and the role of rest and family in a pastor's long-term health.

In heavily Christianised contexts, churches often assume everyone understands the gospel—but asking ten churchgoers might yield ten different answers. This week, Doug Van Meter joins Tommie to discuss why keeping the gospel central is essential for church health and Christian living, and how to maintain this focus practically. They discuss:
