Embracing Spiritual Authority in the Face of Pastoral Failure (David Mathis)

Spiritual authority. In our world today, it's a fraught topic that evokes strong reactions from many different sides. What is it? Who has it? How is it supposed to work, and how should we respond when that authority is abused? Our guest, David Mathis, helps answer these questions.

David serves as a pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, as an adjunct professor at Bethlehem College and Seminary, and as senior teacher and executive editor at DesiringGod.org. He's also the author of Workers for Your Joy, The Call of Christ on Christian Leaders from Crossway.
