Ep. 326: Cultivating Vulnerability Among Elders

Brian Croft and Jim Savastio discuss how elders and ministry leaders can move beyond purely transactional meetings to relationships marked by honesty, accountability, and friendship. Working from Acts 20:28, they emphasize that pastors are sheep who need shepherding, not just shepherds of others. They explore tensions around vulnerability—especially for lead pastors—practical ways to structure elder meetings for soul care, appropriate public transparency, and how to cultivate a culture of grace where leaders can share real struggles without fear.
