Episode 136: Pastoral Administration With Michael Prodigalidad
In Episode 136 of Theology In Particular, Pastor Michael Prodigalidad joins me to discuss pastoral administration. I trust that pastors will benefit from this conversation. I also believe that this topic should be of interest to all Christians. One, it is good for Christians to be mindful and prayerful concerning the demands faced by their pastors. Two, all Christians face administrative challenges of their own and should strive to be faithful. We hope this conversation will be encouraging to you in some way.
