Practicing church discipline is difficult. Perhaps this is why many churches seem to have neglected it.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. After all, the goal of excommunication is repentance and restoration, not punishment or shunning.

In this 9Marks interview, Ligon Duncan, Mez McConnell, Mark Dever, and Jonathan Leeman discuss church discipline in an effort to help both pastors in particular and Christians in general grow deeper in their understanding of this difficult, yet necessary task.

We hope you’ll find it useful.
