519. I Feel Invisible At Church
What does it actually look like for pastors to shepherd people in a large church? In this episode, the guys respond to a listener question about church membership, shepherding elders, accountability, and the tension between the ideal of biblical community and the reality of busy modern life. They discuss how elder shepherding practically works at Northwest Gospel Church, why formal membership matters, the challenges of caring for growing congregations, and whether members also have a responsibility to pursue connection with their pastors. The conversation covers “span of care,” proactive communication, prayer, church structure, and the messy but worthwhile work of meaningful church community.
