Shepherds in Exile

To be a pastor, a shepherd of God’s people, is a weighty calling. What is the role of the pastor? What should you expect from your pastor? How can you tell if a pastor is not caring well for the souls of their flock? Peter lays out what it means to be a shepherd to the church in exile.

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 5:1-5
