At the Practically Pastoring Conference, Adam Powers makes a biblical case for elder-led ministry from Hebrews 13:17. He argues that pastors must resist treating churches like businesses and people like customers, and instead recover the hard, joyful work of caring for souls. This talk explores the duty of the church, the duty of elders, and the shared delight that comes when leaders shepherd faithfully under Christ. Along the way, Adam reflects on authority, abuse, suffering in ministry, elder training, and why the care of souls must stay at the center of pastoral work.
