Boldly Bi-Vocational (häftad, eng)

Boldly Bi–Vocational offers a fresh perspective on ministry, challenging traditional notions of full–time pastoral work. Drawing from personal experience and biblical wisdom, Powell presents bi–vocational ministry as a strategic and fulfilling calling rather than a mere stopgap measure.

This book explores the biblical foundations of bi–vocational ministry, tracing its roots to the apostle Paul’s tent–making example. Powell argues that this model can enhance a minister’s effectiveness, providing unique insights and opportunities for kingdom impact both within and outside the church.

Key topics include:The glory of diversified kingdom investmentNavigating the challenges and opportunities of bi–vocational lifeBalancing roles and maintaining boundariesEnhancing preaching through real–world experienceCorrecting common ministry pitfallsPowell offers practical advice for pastors considering or currently engaged in bi–vocational ministry, as well as guidance for churches supporting such leaders.

He presents this paradigm not as a universal solution, but as a biblically grounded option for expanding gospel influence. Boldly Bi–Vocational is an essential read for pastors, church leaders, and anyone interested in innovative approaches to ministry in today’s complex world.

It calls for a renewed vision of pastoral work that embraces both sacred and secular spheres for God’s glory.  Contents:ForewordPrefaceTenets and commitmentsIntroduction: Isn’t this something missionaries often do?Part One: First Things1. Ministry Burnout and a Paradigm Shift2.
