Part-Time Pastoring: Leading God's People by Integrating Faith and Work

We desperately need more pastors and churches as Christianity continues to disintegrate in the United States and Europe. At the very same time, the old pools of resources are drying up and the antiquated systems of supporting emerging leaders are becoming less and less accessible. How do those who sense a call from God to ministry move forward in the face of these realities?Many pastors and ministry leaders have begun to do ministry part-time. In some circles the co-vocational ministry movement is being pumped up as the next new thing. To others, working a job outside of ministry feels like failure, or at best, a necessary evil. But in all circles, part-time pastoring is on the rise.Andy and Sean are not new to this conversation. They have been living the bi-vocational life for much of their ministry careers. In this little book you'll find their stories, reflections, lessons learned, and encouragements for those considering part-time pastoring themselves. Whether you are moving toward Christian leadership, making a career change, or supporting someone who is, you'll find Part-Time Pastoring to be a helpful invitation to consider the possibilities, the pitfalls, and God's faithfulness amidst it all.
