Matthew Miller pastors the Vineyard Fellowship in Johnson City, TN with Scott Hillman. He and Scott brought their two assemblies together into one and help lead a team of pastors to fulfill the roles of a five-fold ministry: Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher, Pastor/Shepherd.

We talk with with Miller about his life and the lessons he endured to learn spiritual authority and submission, summarized in Proverbs 15:3b "before honor is humility." We also discuss the widespread repugnance toward tithing rife in the Torah community, as well as the general rejection of pastors and authority and the fallout that creates.

Miller is also the biblical instructor and Hillman the president of ACTS Biblical Training Center, which teaches regenerative agriculture, traditional skills and biblical studies. Hillman's Galatians and Biblical insights courses are live and include instruction on gardening, food preservation and more to come.
