6 Guidelines for Training Pastors Toward an Apostolic Imagination

Strike the Match with J. D. Payne

This episode of Strike the Match kicks off season 2. In this podcast, I share insights from eighteen years of training pastors in both the academy and the church.

The pastor is the most important and influential person in a local church when it comes to leading that congregation to participate in the mission of God. Missiologists face challenges in training pastors to develop a healthy apostolic imagination. These challenges exist within the discipline of missiology, within the academy in general, and within our present way of thinking about missionary activity. In addition to these matters, I also address 6 guidelines for helping pastors develop a proper imagination.
