Pastors changing churches for bigger platforms, bigger buildings, and bigger paychecks is becoming far too normal. In this episode, I use the recent coaching move of Lane Kiffin to LSU as a picture of what’s happening inside the church world today.

Just like coaches jump for better opportunities, many pastors use smaller congregations as a stepping stone to get to “something bigger.” But is this faithful to the calling of Christ? Is ministry meant to be a career ladder?

In this video, we discuss:

The parallels between Lane Kiffin’s move and pastoral ambition

Why a pastor’s calling is fundamentally different from a coach’s career

The danger of platform-driven ministry

What Scripture actually says about shepherding God’s people

How churches can guard against treating the pastorate like a business

If you care about the health of Christ’s church, the integrity of pastoral ministry, and the importance of biblical shepherding, this episode is for you.
