Considering becoming an elder

About this episode

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie

What really prepares a man to be an elder? 

Is it years of church, attendance, a successful business career, or a heart shaped by conflict, prayer, and growth?

When someone accepts the call to shepherd God's people, how do they know if the congregation actually wants them to serve, and how do they avoid simply becoming a senior deacon?

In this episode, I share a recent conversation with a brother wrestling with these questions, and together we explore the realities, frustrations, and opportunities of serving as an elder in the church.
