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 investment. Navigating the challenges and opportunities of bi-vocational life. Balancing roles and maintaining boundaries. Enhancing preaching through real-world experience. Correcting common ministry pitfalls. Powell 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:. Foreword. Preface. Tenets and commitments. Introduction: Isn't this something missionaries often do. Part One: First Things. 1. Ministry Burnout and a Paradigm Shift. 2. Making Tents and Preaching the Gospel: A Vocational Life. Part Two: Bi-Vocational Ministry Explored. 3. The Glory: A diversified kingdom investment. 4. The Mindset: Plundering the Egyptians. 5. The Surprise: The same Word, the same preacher. BUT. 6. The Opportunity-Cost: Considerations for the church and minister. 7. The Balance: A corrective alignment. 8. The Vision: Something even bigger.
