When did so many pastors become... Unouchable

What happened to the role of the pastor?

Somewhere along the way, access was replaced with distance… and shepherds started looking more like CEOs. We cared more about the look, and status than Christian leadership, and being caring church leaders.

In this episode of Beyond the Numbers, we dive into the tension between platform and presence, growth and discipleship, and ministry wise, ask a hard question:

Are we still building people… or just building systems?

Next week, Voices From the Field returns with JonMark Baker from Minor Prophets as we dig deeper into celebrity culture, leadership, and the tension between building platforms and shepherding people.
