s your church starving for care or clarity? Too often, pastors feel torn between preaching the Word and shepherding the people, but the truth is, your church can’t thrive without both. In this episode of the Enduring Church Podcast, Nathan and Michael unpack how this false divide has weakened churches and burned out leaders. They dive into why preaching is shepherding, how to build a team that helps meet real needs, and what time management looks like when you’re carrying the spiritual weight of a congregation. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t do it all, you’re right. But there’s a better way forward.

Should We Model Our Churches After the Early Church?
In this episode of The Enduring Church Podcast, we take an honest look at the early church—its simplicity, its power, its mess—and ask the big question: Should we model our churches after it today? We explore what the early church got right, what challenges it faced, and how much of its structure and rhythm still applies in a modern, complex world. Is Acts 2 a blueprint or just a snapshot? And are we idealizing something that was never meant to be duplicated? This episode will challenge assumptions and invite pastors to reflect deeply on how we shape our churches today.
