Putting pastors on a pedestal happens when believers connect to a preacher's personality instead of Christ's mission. Paul confronts this in 1 Corinthians 1 and 3, calling the Corinthian church's factions a sign of spiritual immaturity. David McIntyre and Phillip Rich break down why the congregation belongs to Christ, not to any preacher, celebrity or otherwise.
