Remember the old terminology about Paul (in the Bible) being a tentmaker? Some use the word bi-vocational. I mean working in the church and in an outside job-yet committed to both sides. Historically, most pastors have done this because their church was unable to pay them a sufficient salary.
Whatever you use, the point is…will this “model” return in due time? I mean, will we see more “church staff” personnel engage in this lifestyle? I don’t know but maybe. If so, this move will be out of strategy and not per se out of necessity.
In my mind, I am working through good reasons this might be a viable strategic move for a church and for the individual.
Are you seeing this happen yet? Have you made this move yet?
