Episode 9: The decline of the church, is the pastor to blame?
What do chickens have to do with being a pastor? Is your pastor a scholar? What should young pastors who are just entering the ministry, and indeed all pastors and all Christians know about the role of the pastor? What is his job? What has he been called to do in the parish? Rev. C.F.W. Walther gives us the foundation and then Rev. Theodore Graebner fleshes out the reality that your pastor should be all about studying and preaching. Plus news about upcoming content!
