Episode Description

Is church leadership defined by titles and hierarchy—or by something entirely different?

In this episode of the Primal Church series, we examine the New Testament's vision for leadership and discover that Scripture emphasizes character over position. Rather than creating dependence on a pastor, biblical leaders equip every believer to minister, disciple others, and reveal Christ together. 

We explore the role of elders, spiritual mothers and fathers, spiritual covering, accountability, and why the New Testament's "one another" model keeps Christ—not a personality, platform, or institution—at the center of the church. 

If you've ever wondered whether today's model of church leadership reflects the pattern of the early church, this episode invites you to return to Scripture with fresh eyes.
