How to Strike a Balance Between Assistant and Associate Pastors

In many churches that the primary relationship is between the associate pastor and the senior pastor. That can end up as a team of rivals where we are all competing for the affection, attention and time of the senior guy. I think Mark has been very wise in maybe this was deliberate, maybe this is just how things worked out. But he's built a staff whereI think the primary relationships are horizontal, lateral, between the associate pastors. And that means that we cheer each other on and commiserate with each other about what it's like working for Mark Dever.
