There are 2 extremes people fall into when it comes to their pastor: 1. their pastor is perfect, or, 2. the pastor can't do anything right. In today's episode, Jenn delves into 1 Timothy 5, which explains a more moderate approach as to how we should view our pastors:

  • Good pastors (those who meet the elder qualifications) should be given double honor
  • Yes, pastors should be paid
  • Accusations against an elder should only be listened to if there are multiple witnesses
  • Paul tells the church to be impartial toward their pastors
