Pastoral Authority | The Ocala Church Podcast with Pastor Ryan Brister


Listen Later

True spiritual leadership isn’t about control—it’s about alignment with God’s divine order. Pastoral authority is a gift, not a burden, given to guide and equip believers for a life of blessing, protection, and growth. In a world that resists authority, God’s Word calls us to embrace it, understanding that submission to godly leadership isn’t about restriction, but about releasing His favor in our lives.
