Adam Russell posts a short piece on “The Bi-Vocational Life”
at churchleaders.com promoting the tentmaking
lifestyle. His thesis, that work and ministry are not mortal enemies, is
actively contested in the comments section, where a number of pastors who have lived
the bi-vocational lifestyle make the point that, well, it isn’t a lot of fun
and you don’t ever get a day off.
If I respond with “Poor babies”, am I going to draw heat?
Okay, I’ll dial the rhetoric back a notch or two.
