Listen "Challenging the Model of the Full-Time Pastor - Part 5 (#131)"
Episode Synopsis
For many pastors in the modern world, it has been a very common model to approach pastoral ministry as a full-time professional vocation. Under this traditional model pastors pursue one or more degrees from a Bible college and/or seminary and then “go to work” as a full-time employee of a local church. Although this model is not necessarily a “wrong” approach to ministry, we believe it has created some unintended consequences that are not the best for pastors, their families, and the churches they lead. One of those consequences is the tendency for a pastors identity to be completely wrapped up in their “full-time” calling to the point that it becomes a very unhealthy, all-consuming focus in their lives. In this episode Jon unpacks how the EntrePastor model of pastoring can help pastors avoid this all too common trap in ministry.
