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. In this episode, Jon shares a new "model" for pastors to consider who might be feeling tired of being stuck in the rut of what pastoring has looked like for so long.
