Join Pastor Luke and Pastor Cameron in the Uncut Podcast as they sip on drinks and engage in unfiltered discussions about faith, life, and ministry. Their conversation revolves around tying Wednesday night classes to Sunday sermons on Ephesians, navigating the challenge of covering profound topics in limited sermon time. Delving into Ephesians chapter four, they explore the roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, debating their universal application and cautioning against self-proclaimed titles. The debate expands to elders, overseers, shepherds, and deacons in the church, emphasizing the importance of understanding these roles despite the lack of explicit modern directives. Drawing parallels between elder and deacon qualifications with a focus on teaching ability, they reference Acts chapter six for biblical insights. Stay tuned for their upcoming episode as they delve deeper into implementing these roles within church structures.
