Challenging the Model of the Full-Time Pastor - Part 2 (#126)

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 unrealistic and unbiblical expectations that a congregation often places upon their “full-time” pastor.  In this episode, Jon shares how the EntrePastor model of pastoring can help set pastors free from these unhealthy expectations of the people they lead.
