What Makes You a Pastor?

What actually qualifies a man to be a pastor? Not what culture says. Not what tradition says. What the Bible says.

In our first conversation, Samuel and Adeola walk through 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 — the biblical qualifications for pastoral ministry — and ask an uncomfortable question: how many pastors in Nigeria actually meet them?

We talk about:

• The inward call vs. the outward call (and why most pastors only have one)
• Why character matters more than gifting
• The danger of "entrepreneur pastors" and franchise churches
• Protocol units, inaccessible shepherds, and the "gift of access."
• Why a man cannot make himself a pastor
• What to do if you feel called but aren't sure you're qualified

This is not a catechism podcast. We're not replacing your church. But some conversations need to happen — and this is one of them. New episodes every Wednesday.
