Episode notes

Exploring the changing role of pastors and counselors in the church, the chapter highlights the importance of shepherding and empowering lay leadership. It discusses challenges related to volunteer engagement and proposes a shift towards calling individuals to greater responsibility and authority, moving away from passive consumerism. Strategies for equipping and empowering leaders, including a leadership residency program and internal staff hiring goals, are also discussed as part of a long-term strategy to deepen biblical knowledge and nurture future ministry leaders.

Spiritual formation is less about what we ask people to do and more about who we’re equipping people to become.

In this episode, Tony interviews Pastor Daniel Im, author of The Discipleship Opportunity: Leading a Great-Commission Church in a Post-Everything World, about the role serving has in helping people grow closer to Jesus.
