Thanks George. This is a very insightful perspective. In my experience, many bivocational pastors consider their role a step down from what they hoped God would provide. Observers may think of them as qualified or less effective. Good on you for declaring the important value of ministering in all the setting that God opens for you.
Thanks, Sam! Bivocational pastors/minister are the foundation of all we do. Without them we would not have the Christian witness globally that we do have. Reconceptualizing them as covocational ministers is a much more positive approach. We often need more of what they do in the marketplace than we need pastors struggling to keep a remnant church church alive with people who want a chaplain more than they want a proactive missional journey.
It is so important for a pastor to have a place to connect with the lost. If it is not in a work space capacity it could be on the golf course etc. The church does not need more salt , the world needs our salt.
