Elder, overseer, bishop, and presbyter are all the same biblical role
Mike clarifies terminology before discussing eldership requirements.
Biblically, elder, overseer, bishop, and presbyter are identical -- one role with multiple titles. Some traditions assign different hierarchy levels to these terms (e.g., overseers lead multiple churches), but this is not biblical. The term 'pastor' is used most commonly in modern churches but often in muddy ways that confuse the conversation.
