Recognizing Nepotism’s Negative Effect In Churches

What this episode covers

Are you called to be a pastor just because your dad is one? Tune in to hear Justin and Tiffany discuss the rampant nepotism in the Pentecostal church today. Have men been given the spiritual gift of shepherding (Eph. 4:11), or have they been handed the office simply because of who they know? While “pastors” have no job description or qualities found in Scripture, they surely aren’t chosen at the helm of self-appointment or a father’s favoritism.For God shows no partiality. -Romans 2:11 ESVLast Week: Revealing Narcissism In The Pentecostal Pulpit - S01E55Playlists:Examining PentecostalismThe Church BuildingHoliness StandardsPodcast Playlist⁠ - YoutubeShow Links:Mickey Mangun - “he is my pastor now”Anthony Mangun - “my son as my pastor”Nathaniel Haney - “pastor that which I built”Joel Holmes - “newest addition to our family”Joel Osteen - Reluctant Pastor's SonRobert & James Morris - Son of Ex-megachurch pastor resigns amid father's child sex abuse allegations & 5 Weeks After Resigning...Brian Houston - Complaints of Unwelome Behavior To WomenBrian Houston - Blames Meds & Acohol for Woman's HotelBrian Houston - Hillsong founder charged with drink-driving in the USBrian Houston - Found not guilty of concealing his father’s child sex crimesFrank Houston - WikipediaBrian & Bobbie Houston - Launch ‘Online Church’ & Ask for MoneyConnect with us!⁠⁠⁠⁠http://graceescapepod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send us an email!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X (Twitter)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram
