The Postscript Show

On today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders to focus on prayer and the Word by meeting practical, often overlooked needs in the body. To help us unpack this biblical office and its implications for the church today, we’re joined by Pastor Mitch Dobson, Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI welcome to the Postscript.

What is The Postscript Show?

The Postscript is a podcast and YouTube series that invites believers into in-depth theological and ministry conversations with pastors, Bible scholars, missionaries, and professors from the Living Faith Bible Institute.




Living Faith Bible Institute (LFBI) serves as an advanced equipping arm of like-minded churches whose mission is to mold every member into the image of Christ and mobilize them to minister the Word of God to the world. To this end, LFBI utilizes experienced pastoral leaders to equip men and women of the church to function as shepherds of God’s people through a structured curriculum that is centered on the Word of God. Our goal is to offer, at a reasonable cost, a practical study that develops biblical leadership in an environment conducive to learning to live God’s Word.
