In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast Todd Adkins and Barnabas Piper talk with Paul Tripp, a pastor, teacher, author, and counselor. Tripp is a “pastor of pastors” and his book Dangerous Calling is both a challenging and encouraging resource for those in ministry. In this conversation you will hear much about grace and about living the gospel, both themes of Tripp’s ministry.
