This episode explores church leadership, eldership, pastoral ministry, and gospel-centered leadership for pastors and church elders seeking healthy, biblical leadership.

In this episode of the Gospel Anchored Leadership Podcast, Jeff Martin sits down with longtime church elder Brian Martin to explore the often unseen realities of spiritual leadership. Drawing from over two decades of elder service, Brian shares how God shapes leaders through suffering, unresolved ministry outcomes, shared leadership, and gospel-centered community.

This conversation examines the emotional and spiritual weight elders carry, the dangers of isolated leadership, and why a biblical plurality of elders is essential for healthy churches. Pastors, elders, and ministry leaders will gain insight into the joys, burdens, and long-term formation that come through faithful leadership in the local church.
