In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question about hierarchy within the church and across various denominations with the intention of figuring out how best to structure accountability within the church. In some churches, it can seem like the pastors have too much power, but in others, it may feel like they hardly have power at all. Which one is right?
