Ever wondered who truly holds the reins of ministry? This episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, titled 'The Ministry Belongs to You!', challenges the traditional pastor-centric view of ministry. Host Rick Peterson passionately argues that ministry is not confined to the ordained clergy but belongs to every believer. Drawing from Ephesians chapter 4, he explains that pastors, evangelists, and teachers are meant to equip the congregation for service, not to monopolise it.
The episode is packed with compelling anecdotes and scriptural references, making it clear that every Christian, regardless of their status, is a minister in their own right. Peterson also shares a poignant clip from Jerry Cook, reinforcing the idea that the presence of Jesus is carried by all believers. This thought-provoking episode invites you to rethink your role within the church and embrace your calling as a minister.
