More Bible Study on some text that sends me down countless rabbit trails. In this episode
I start with the text that limits the office of pastor to certain types of men. Then I quickly get distracted explaining why it takes a while to change things, like flags in the sanctuary (and how they first got there).
Finally pulling it back to the qualifications for Overseer to end it out.
Enjoy!
