Summary

We got an email from a listener about pastoral disqualification, and why some pastors seem to get a pass on certain disqualifying behavior. Sexual immorality will get a pastor fired, but being quarrelsome or pugnacious often doesn’t raise much concern. What disqualifies a pastor from the office? How can churches get ahead of disqualifying behavior? How or why do churches enable disqualifying behavior?

Welcome to Doctrine and Devotion. It's a podcast that explores Christian faith and

0:18.1

practice from a reformed Baptist perspective. My name is Joe Thorne. I am the lead pastor

0:22.3

of Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles, Illinois. And I'm Jim Fowler, executive pastor at Redeemer

0:26.6

Fellowship. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. So, you know, we're, uh, we're

0:33.5

enjoying the, uh, the rollout of increasing video interviews that we've been doing. That's

0:40.6

been fun. That's been good. Uh, you've done a great job. Well, you know, it was, what's

0:44.9

nice is is we were sort of forced into it because, you know, Jimmy had to travel. And I

0:50.4

thought, well, we'll just do interviews. And, uh, you know, I, I tried one called StreamYard.

0:55.6

And it was like, you know, it was like $400 a year, but not a lot of customizable features.

1:02.8

And then I was talking to Dean Lentini, uh, or Lental. I was Dean. I always forget your last

1:09.2

name. It's like a weird one. Anyways, uh, but he has a really cool live streaming setup

1:13.8

that he does in Canada. And, uh, real good guy. He'd be fun to have on the podcast, talk about,

1:23.7

form, like, you know, live stuff. And he just did one on, like, outlining scripture passages,

1:28.9

right? So, uh, anyways, I, I got him on, on the blower to say, Hey, how do I do that? Like,

1:36.2

how do you do what you're doing? Because it looks really good. He has a camera and he talked

1:40.0

me up through all the stuff. But the main thing was, as he says, I'm using ecam for the graphics

1:44.8

and all of that. So we've transitioned to that successfully for the interview with Sam Runahan.

1:50.0

And, um, I'm really happy with what that's, what that's going to allow us to do, even to

1:54.9

potentially go and maybe do some, some live stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So Jimmy and I've been

1:59.4

playing with it so that we can use it at the same time. We were in the room together, as well

2:03.5

as when he's away. We can still hop on. So you should expect more video content. And, uh, we'll
