What is the role of the modern church pastor?
This week, our hosts hold up a mirror to themselves and discuss the role of the pastor. They ponder a range of questions, including the Biblical job description of a pastor and whether the modern church is equipping its pastors well enough for the job.
Principal of Morling College Tim MacBride then joins the show to discuss the challenges facing the pastoral profession.
Finally, Michael and Megan riff on the 2001 film Wit (starring Emma Thompson), a cinematic adaptation of the play of the same name, which chiefly focuses on … death.
In this episode, our hosts discuss the book The Unnecessary Pastor: Rediscovering the Call by Marva Dawn and Eugene Peterson. Order your copy here.
There’s also a call back to the episode The Trinity: Can you be saved if you don’t believe it? in which our hosts talk about the work of poet John Donne. Check out that episode here.
With All Due Respect is hosted by Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen. It is part of the Undeceptions podcast network.
Less aggro, more conversation.
Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it.
There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
