Pastors Irwyn Ince and Mark Vroegop call pastors and ministry leaders to focus on faithfulness, reminding them that God controls the size of their churches.

An ideal church is one where people are known, loved, seen, and protected under the gospel, no matter the congregation’s size.

Pastors Irwyn Ince and Mark Vroegop discuss the limits of a pastor’s role and how to know when to refer someone in the church for professional counseling. Even pastors who’ve received formal counseling education may not have sufficient time for in-depth therapy sessions, and complex trauma and deeper issues may at times necessitate professional assistance. Ince and Vroegop note this doesn’t absolve pastors of their responsibility to shepherd the members of their congregations, however.
