Pastors Brian Brodersen, Richard Cimino and John Hwang discuss the calling pastors have to give biblical instruction and advice, as it is an opportunity to connect people to the gospel. Brian, Richard and John establish clear definitions and terms that surround the idea of the pastor as a counselor, and much more, on this new episode of ”Things That Matter.”

As 2 Timothy 4:5 declares, every leader in ministry has the responsibility of an evangelist, a herald of good news. Enjoy this episode as Richard, Brian and John tackle this topic and encourage ministry leaders to continue in their work as an evangelist in the ministry.
