(Phil 1:1c) Have you ever noticed how many different types of leadership postions we have in churches today? Pastors, bishops, elders, deacons, presbyters, priests, and on and on. Have you ever wondered how we ever got so many different roles? Which ones are "right"? Which ones are "Biblical"? And why do we need them in the first place? In this episode, we will take a look at how Philippians gives us a historical snapshot of some of the earliest leadership structures in the fledgling church, how those roles emerged, and what a critical role they played in early Christianity.Contact info: [email protected]: "Most Holy Place," by Doug Beiden. https://www.beidenmusic.com/music.
