Many younger ministry leaders will find themselves serving in established churches. Sam Rainer, the pastor at West Bradenton Baptist Church, is one of the leading voices about the established church, which he defines as "churches who've been around a long time, have a presence in the community, and have standing programs or ministries." We talk about two of the obstacles from his book Obstacles in the Established Church, and how younger ministry leaders can serve faithfully.

Episode 25 - Obstacles in the Established Church

One thing a lot of young ministry leaders feel unprepared for is the supervision and evaluation of other staff members. Many of us are serving in our first senior leadership role and need help knowing how to evaluate and grow the team around us. Philip Nation is the pastor at FBC Bradenton and he has a lot of insight into helping develop a healthy system of evaluation, which begins at the hiring stage.
