Living Springs Q&a

Q&A #113 - Pastor title unbiblical, Hippies/Cowboys, John and Prophecy 1.) -  In last weeks episode Doug stated that it’s not biblical to call everyone in leadership a pastor.  a.) -  Why are you participating in (and perpetuating) something that is unbiblical; especially when you have the power to change it? (or do you not have the power to change it?).  *Comment: I did not grow up in the church and had not heard the term pastor much at all, and very shortly after I was saved I was taught about the 5 rolls of leadership in Ephesians and what it meant to be a true Pastor.  A couple of years after that I moved to North America where virtually anyone on church payroll was referred to as a pastor:  it has always bugged me, especially as back home even those I knew who were clearly a true Pastor did not even call themselves a Pastor. Question b.) -  Why not say for example, something like: - “I’m Doug and I head up the teaching ministry here at Living Springs”, or “I’m Blake and I’m on the pastoral care team her
