Dually Devoted – a Devotional for Bivocational Pastors and Leaders.ಮಾದರಿ

Being Bivocational is a viable ministry, yet it may not always be talked about or validated. Just because a Bivocational pastor cannot attend every meeting, connect with every local pastor, or address every ministry need or expectation, does not mean their role is ineffective. In fact, it may mean the opposite.
Time, energy, and focus constraints help narrow down what truly matters. External expectations from leaders or overseers may be unrealistic or out of touch with the reality of Bivocational ministry. What some see as a lack of effort or concern could actually be healthy limits and directed focus.
A ministry that doesn’t check all the boxes of what one deems viable or healthy can still be effective. Bivocational pastors are often hardworking, resilient, talented, and love the church just as much as any other pastor.
The Apostle Paul worked hard, toiled night and day, and earned his living so he could preach the Good News. He was persistent, consistent, and resilient in both his profession and his proclamation of the Gospel. He loved the Church and showed it through his sacrifice.
Many Bivocational pastors may be misunderstood. Further conversations and discoveries can help contextualize their motives, focus, and hearts. There is nothing like being fully known, supported, and endorsed by leaders who recognize and resource these sacrificing ministers. Their investment in Bivocational pastors goes a long way, especially when these pastors already feel misunderstood or cast aside.
Bivocational pastors must be willing to initiate conversations about their challenges and resource needs. These requests are valid. Open and honest conversations help open doors for those who want to support and invest in their ministry.
