Challenging the Model of the Full-Time Pastor - Part 1 (#125)

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 that often church people sit back and assume the pastor is the primary ministry provider.  This leads to a disengaged church body and overworked pastors.  We believe there is a better way!  In this episode Jon shares how the EntrePastor approach helps address this common issue in the church.
