Biblical Qualifications for Elders/Overseers/Pastors

Overview: Terms "elder" (presbyteros), "overseer" (episkopos), and "pastor" (poimen) are interchangeable in Scripture, focusing on character over credentials.

Key Bible verses:

1 Timothy 3:1-7: Must be above reproach, faithful to wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not drunkard/violent/quarrelsome/greedy, manage family well, not recent convert, good reputation.

Titus 1:5-9: Blameless, husband of one wife, faithful children, not arrogant/quick-tempered/drunkard/violent/greedy, but hospitable, lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, disciplined; hold firm to sound doctrine.

1 Peter 5:1-4: Serve willingly, not for gain, as examples without lording over other 

Specific Roles According to the Bible

Interchangeable roles: Acts 20:17-28 shows elders as overseers who shepherd (pastor) the flock.

Core responsibilities:

Shepherd/protect: 1 Peter 5:1-4—Watch over flock willingly, as examples.

Teach/preach: 1 Timothy 3:2 ("able to teach"); 1 Timothy 5:17—Honor those laboring in preaching/teaching.

Oversee/lead: Acts 20:28—Guard against false teaching; Ephesians 4:11-12—Equip saints for ministry

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
