What is a Pastor? [Ep 2]

In this episode, Joel & Chris recover the historic vision of the pastor as both shepherd and priest—one who cares for souls, proclaims the Word, and stands in the gap between God and His people. Drawing from Scripture, the early Church, and Wesleyan tradition, we explore how pastoral ministry is more than leadership—it is a sacred calling.They also consider what this means within the Free Methodist movement today: how pastors embody holiness, spiritual authority, and personal care in a way that is both rooted in tradition and alive for the Church’s mission.Free Methodist Liturgical NetworkGregory the Great, The Pastoral RuleRichard Baxter, The Reformed PastorEugene Peterson, Working the AnglesIf you have any suggestions or questions please email [email protected]
