With the recent wave of pastoral failures and church governance scandals, what does biblical church leadership actually look like? Today we’re diving into the crucial topic of elder leadership, examining Scripture’s blueprint for church governance.

We’ll explore critical questions facing churches today: • What’s the biblical case for plural eldership? • How do different models of church governance align with Scripture? • What’s the relationship between pastors, elders, and overseers? • How should churches select, evaluate, and (if necessary) remove elders? • What are the biblical qualifications for eldership? • What’s the distinction between elders and deacons? • Should there be term limits or limits on elder authority?

Whether you’re a church leader wrestling with these questions or a believer wanting to understand biblical church governance, this episode provides practical wisdom rooted in Scripture.

Join us as we examine how to navigate church leadership with biblical faithfulness in an age of evangelical crisis.
