Are There Modern Day Apostles?

Many people today call themselves “apostle.” Is it the same as a pastor, elder, or deacon? What is the difference? Should people today hold the title of apostle?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question regarding apostles and start off by defining the difference between disciples and apostles, laying out the qualifications of an apostle, and then deciphering whether or not people today are called to the position of apostle. We hope this can be helpful to all who listen to have a more biblical worldview!
