Chapters 00:00 Transitioning to Full-Time Pastoral Ministry13:28 The Role of Tent-Making Pastors22:07 The Dignity of Full-Time Ministry32:40 Investing in Discipleship and Church PlantingTakeaways Transitioning to full-time ministry is essential for church growth. Bivocational pastors play a crucial role but should aim for full-time. Spiritual health is linked to the pastor's full-time commitment. The church's support for its pastor is vital for its success. Tent-making is a temporary solution, not a permanent state. Discipleship is key to building a strong church foundation. Financial security for pastors comes from building their congregation. Pastors must navigate the challenges of bivocational ministry. Investing in discipleship leads to effective church planting. God provides for those who step out in faith. Sound Bites "You want your pastor to be full-time." "Sheep naturally gravitate towards a shepherd." "Tentmaking is only for a season."

The Apostle Paul famously served as a tentmaker to support himself during his ministry in the First Century. What does it look like for Christians today to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps? How can tentmaking serve Kingdom priorities in the rainy days ahead? On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Troy Albee – pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church on the South Shore of Boston – provides helpful insights from his own experience as an entrepreneur. Like Paul, Troy helped support himself while in ministry by identifying a need and developing the skills to meet it. In Trent's case, he launched a successful lock and key business – South Shore Lock and Key. Side hustles provide Christians additional income, flexibility and opportunities. Small business ventures also offer unexpected insights into spiritual principles. You may be stretched and face rejection. But you will also discover new strengths, while finding opportunities to mentor the younger believers around you and engage the lost in your midst. Christians should not take all of this for granted. The cultural landscape is increasingly hostile. The workplace is too often a place where Christians are targeted and pressured to compromise. That is why Christian enterprise will play a critical role in the coming days.

The apostle Paul, author of a series of letters in the New Testament, had a vocation by which he took care of himself through the day: tentmaking. Indeed, as a pharisee, Paul was required to learn such a trade so that he had a meaningful, marketable skill with which to earn his daily bread and bless others. The idea is so popular that individuals in education or in ministry refer to side jobs (or even a full-time job) as "tentmaking"--that is, something outside of their highly-specialized academic that is more technical and hands-on. In this episode, Winston Brady speaks with Miguel Echevarria, a professor of New Testament at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC about the idea of tentmaking and how students can learn from Paul's example. Dr. Echevarria is the co-author of a new book on Paul entitled, "40 Questions About the Apostle Paul," available here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/40-Questions-About-Apostle-Paul/dp/0825447526/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3IIHUOPSYNUKN&keywords=miguel+echevarria&qid=1704821075&sprefix=miguel+echev%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-1

Register for the conference: https://trinityreformedkirk.com/tentmaking/ The Apostle Paul was not only the best-educated apostle, and one of the most influential intellectuals in the history of the world, he was a tradesman. He made tents for a living. It was the perfect trade for a man on the road. In 1 Corinthians 9 he made the case for making a living from the gospel, yet he didn’t take advantage of his right to do so. He even said, “But I have made no use of (my) rights, nor am I writing these things to you to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.” (1 Cor. 9:15) Could you say that? Would you like to be able to? Because Paul was able to support himself financially he enjoyed the sort of freedom that many pastors today can only dream of. But not all pastors. There are a few who even today enjoy the sort of freedom Paul boasted of. And they’ve done it while seeing their ministries actually prosper because of it. Would you like to learn how?

Can a mega-church transition into a movement of disciples or DMM? Why would a mega-church pastor want to “ruin his church” by sending people away? Chris Galanos, the author of the book From Mega-church to Multiplication, shares his story with me, Cynthia Anderson, in this inspiring and fascinating interview. We also talk about tent-making and how those involved in movement work can pursue a bi-vocational approach.
What is Christian tentmaking? Is tentmaking an effective way of doing Christian missions?

Rev. William Terjesen, pastor at the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, NY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Acts 18:1-17. Paul leaves Athens and goes to Corinth, where his trade of tentmaking opens the door for him to proclaim the Gospel to Aquila and Priscilla. Paul's work in Corinth followed his pattern elsewhere. He preached in the synagogue until the rejection of the Jews sent him to preach to the Gentiles. Yet the Gospel made inroads in Corinth; a Christian church was founded right next to the synagogue. The Lord spoke to Paul in a vision to take away his fears and assure him of safety in Corinth. Paul ended up staying there for a year and a half, founding Corinth as a hub for mission in Greece. The Lord's promise to Paul proved true in the case of the attack the Jews brought against him. The proconsul Gallio saw through their deception, and Paul was unharmed by the unruly mob. “To the End of the Earth” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Acts. In his second volume, St. Luke records all the things that Jesus continued to do through the ministry of His Church. By the end of the book, the proclamation of the Lord's Word that began in Jerusalem grows all the way to Rome. By God's grace, even now, that same Word is proclaimed to us.

Is Christian "over dependence" a sin? In 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Paul tells us that we as Christians are to "...work with your hands as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one". Paul made tents to support himself and took support from the church as secondary. We as Christians are called to be dependent on God first and foremost and when we really and truly need it, to be dependent on the body of Christ for the essentials in life. Tune in with Host Steven Garofalo to hear more about over dependence being a SIN in the body of Christ. Please consider a 5-START Review in iTunes and SUBSCRIBE-that would be greatly apprecaited.

Acts 18:1-11. How can God use your earthly skills for his glory? What might he do if you surrendered your organizing or writing or teaching to him for his use? If Paul can find in-roads through tent making, I bet God can use your skills too.
Increasingly, Millennials and young people are redefining “long-term” missions. At the same time, fewer are willing to raise missionary support. Is recruiting marketplace missionaries—many of whom are short-term tentmakers—a sustainable solution? And if so, how do we get the word out to professionals that the Great Commission isn't just for full-time religious workers? This week we go back and forth with Mark Silvers, Director of Mobilization for Crossworld, on the pros and cons of using marketplace missionaries alongside long-term church planters. Mark Silvers served with Crossworld in the Philippines for 10 years and joined the home office staff in 2009. Mark's driving passion is the goal of reaching the 2.9 billion people in the world today with no access to the gospel. Remember to share, rate, leave a review, and subscribe.

Together with Lester Merklin, special assistant to Global Mission Centers at the General Conference, we are discussing a fledgling but highly strategic initiative—the Tentmaking program. We approach this topic from the viewpoint of a cross-cultural missionary. We are asking questions that you would, perhaps, ask. Why is this topic relevant to those of us who are already in the mission field? Listen to this episode to find the answer to that question and more.

The early 2000's wasn't a prime time for Americans visiting the Middle East. But that's when our guest, the son of a Kansas farmer, found himself called to the mission field in an undeniable way. On today's episode, he shares stories of death-defying ministry to mullahs and how God used his ministry to plant the gospel in the surprisingly fertile soil of the Middle East—and how God is opening doors for business as mission today. Don't forget our sponsor, the Global Gospel Fund. We believe missionaries should be free to do the ministry they're called to—not to waste precious ministry hours handling logistics. The Global Gospel Fund provides 1,000 missionaries across 70 countries with counsel, support, and a team of experts who know them by name. If you're burdened for missions this giving season but don't know where to start, we invite you to become a partner. Remember to share, rate, leave a review, and subscribe.

Tentmaking. Platform. Business as mission. BAM. All terms that are used sometimes interchangeably throughout the missions community—but what do they mean? Is it really practical to use a for-profit business venture as a ministry platform in another culture, and how can we make sure we're doing it the right way? How can there be any time to make disciples if a missionary spends 40+ hours working per week in a “secular” arena? Is there a biblical basis for using business as mission? In honor of Labor Day, we pick Scott Dunford's mind as he shares from his three years' experience on the field and significant research in the area of work, vocation, and mission.
