S3E4: Authority & Teams

November 09, 2023 • Praxologie • Season 3 • Episode 4

All believers have been granted authority by Jesus in the Great Commission but how does this relate to people and processes on teams? Authority is often an issue that creates division instead of building up. Sean and Tyler examine how to think about biblical authority that leads to encouragement and empowerment rather than guilt and shame dynamics.
