The Celebrity Pastor Model Is Broken...Here's What We're Building Instead

About this conversation

Pastor Scott is turning 50. And his dream is that one day, nobody remembers he was here. That's not humility for its own sake, it's a conviction he's spent the last decade building into the structure of Sunlight. Fewer sermons. More leaders. A church that doesn't rise and fall on one person. This week we get into all of it. What we cover: • Why Pastor Scott went from preaching 50 Sundays a year to 17 • The celebrity pastor model: what it costs churches and why it keeps failing • The leadership pyramid: assigned tasks, self-initiated tasks, leadership ministry, legacy • What it actually means to "unleash the power of everybody" • Seron's recent unlock and how his cycling group changed how he thinks about recruiting • The Nico and Nick Rutter story: what happens when a layperson just shows up • Psalm 90 and the only legacy that actually lasts We can't make our own lives matter. But God can establish the work of our hands. - Timestamps: - https://disciplestandard.com/ Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/c/DiscipleStandardPodcast Visit our church - https://sunlightchurch.com/ Connect with us - https://multiply222.com
