Join Pastor Luke and Pastor Cameron in the Uncut Podcast as they sip on drinks and engage in unfiltered discussions about faith, life, and ministry.

The debate expands to elders, overseers, shepherds, and deacons in the church, emphasizing the importance of understanding these roles despite the lack of explicit modern directives.
