Pastor in the Public Square | Part 2

In an age where the privatization of faith has pushed biblical truth to the margins of public life, pastors must resist this trend and lead by example—maintaining a bold and visible public witness beyond the local congregation. The belief that pastors should limit their influence to their own congregations is not only unbiblical but harmful for both the church and society. Shepherds of God’s flock are entrusted not only with nurturing and protecting their local congregations but also with being salt and light in a culture that is descending into moral chaos.

Here is a clear defense, grounded in Scripture, theology, and cultural observation, to establish the necessity of a publicly engaged pastoral witness.
