Church members have the holy calling of “putting up with one another”—or, as the Bible puts it, forbearing with one another. Dan Miller wrote about this for the 9Marks Journal, "How to Build Up Your Church: A Guidebook for Members".

During tense political seasons, church members need to learn to live with one another in an understanding way. But what does that mean?

When Paul says pastors must be “apt to teach,” what does he mean? That they must be really, really good preachers? That they must be able to draw a crowd?

In this conversation, Jonathan Leeman asks Sam Emadi about this phrase, what it means and doesn’t mean.

Pastors shouldn’t be quarrelsome. That’s what Kevin DeYoung told us in his recent article for the 9Marks Journal. But pastors must also contend for the truth. They must gently correct opponents. They must be immovable, steadfast.

How do we manage all this?

Jonathan Leeman chatted with Kevin DeYoung about the diverse callings pastors must pursue.

In this conversation, Jonathan Leeman chats with Ray Ortlund about what pastors need to remember when things are going well, what they need to remember when things are going poorly, and how he stays so “stinkin’ joyful.”

We recently released a Journal called “Shepherding: The Work & Character of a Pastor.” Pastor Aaron Menikoff wrote an excellent piece for that Journal on pastors and their holiness.

In this conversation, Jonathan Leeman chats with Aaron about his article, and why pastors of all people must care about their personal holiness.

We recently released a Journal called “Shepherding: The Work & Character of a Pastor.” Pastor Paul Martin wrote an excellent piece for that Journal about the importance of churches being generous to other churches with both their people and their money.
