Serving the Church with Joy

Christ appoints leaders in his church—not as a burden, but as a gift to his people. Ed Stetzer sits down with pastor and seminary professor David Mathis to talk about the nature, calling, and work of local church leadership.  They'll discuss how the elder qualifications in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 serve not only as prerequisites but as daily necessities to carry out joyfully.
