Original: FIRST-PERSON: What bivocational pastors wish you knew
Bivocational pastors—ministers who hold outside jobs while leading congregations—are speaking out about the demands of balancing secular employment with church leadership. Writing for Kentucky Today, one such pastor shares what these church leaders wish their congregations and communities understood: the financial pressures, time strains, and quiet sacrifices involved in serving two roles at once, and why their numbers keep growing across American churches.
Why now: Denominations are increasingly relying on bivocational pastors as many churches cannot afford full-time ministers, making their experiences a timely topic of discussion
