05: The Training Environment

Train the Church - A podcast by Mueller, Pleasnick, Shailer

What is the ideal environment for training men for ministry?  Do you need a building?  Is your ambition to become an accredited seminary?  Do you need a staff with doctorates?  What should be its connection of a training program to a local church?  And what if the church isn't healthy?  We want to wrestle with those questions today. Milestones 1:06    Does a church need a building in order to effectively change men? 4:00   How is the training environment distinct from its location? 7:56    How necessary is the local church for effective ministry training? 13:34  When should a church send a man away for further training? 19:23  What qualities must be manifest in a church in order for it to be effective in equipping men? 22:33  What qualities in a local church should push a man to look elsewhere? 25:50  Should a church delay training men until they feel happy with all that they’re doing?
