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.

Recenzijas

I have known Jim Powell since his seminary days and can testify that he is a wise, godly, courageous, and gospeldriven man. His experience in faithful, fruitful tentmaking ministry has much to teach us all.  -- Douglas A. Sweeney Having spent several seasons in bivocational ministry myself, I deeply resonate with Jims reflections and biblical insights on his pastoral journey. Without romanticizing his experience, he highlights the strategic gospel opportunities that bivocational ministry offers both pastors and churches. In the rapidly secularizing West, this vision for ministry will only grow in relevance and importance. -- Kevin Walker Jim Powell provides these churches with exciting new strategies for bridging the financial gap with tentmaking options. This is a must read for churches, pastors, and churchplanters! -- William J. Curtis This book should be required reading for all seminary students and church leaders. Jims words have deeply encouraged me to continue to use my gifts to pursue a singular calling to make the Gospel known wherever God has placed me.  -- Josh Kwasny Everyone considering ministry or who is ordained should wrestle through this work to gain greater clarity on what it means to serve Christ in their community. -- Chris Vogel Not letting Boldly BiVocational challenge your view of ministry may be a missed opportunity to experience new passion and energy, and overall effectiveness, in the work of bringing light to a people who walk in darkness. -- Mark Hecht

James Powell serves as Teaching Pastor of Christ Community Church in Johnson City, Tennessee (PCA). Since 2013 he has been intentionally bivocational, simultaneously serving as a leader within housing organizations. He is married to Kori and the father of six children.
