Thank you for listening to the Front Pew podcast! We are continuing our discussion of pastoral ministry as touched on in the Pilgrim's Progress. This week we discuss the pervasiveness of legalism, not only in our churches, but in our own hearts and sermons as pastors.

Chris is still out of the country, but he found some time to talk with Ben about a few things pastors should consider when talking to a search committee. There are some red flags to look out for in this process, but does that mean the door is closed?

In the episode, Chris is on the road traveling to an overseas mission destination. While in an airport, he chats with Wes, a member of his church and co-host of the Laymen’s Cup podcast. They discuss the role of the pastor from a layman’s perspective...what does Wes wants pastors to know?

Welcome to a new episode of the Front Pew! This week we are excited to welcome Ben back to Haymen studios as we answer a question from a listener: "How can a pastor of an established church lead his people to embrace church planting?" Ben is the expert on all things related to church planting, and offers some really good insight.

In this episode we are answering a couple of questions that we have received from our listeners concerning the call to ministry. This episode is a little different...Chris is on the road, headed to Atlanta to watch a Braves game with his pastor friend Doug. So, be warned, the sound isn't that great.
