Ministry Business

Humility, or holding power loosely for the sake of others, is sorely lacking in today's world.

Pastor, it’s time to turn down the noise and focus on what matters. Today’s pastoral world is packed with books, conferences, and seminars teaching you different techniques for being an all-star pastor, growing your church quickly, and changing the world.

The road to launching a successful business can be long and confusing. Where do you start? Should you rent office space or work out of your garage?

Both an emerging term and a developing concept, business as mission (BAM) has drawn much fascination in both mission and business circles, with the concept of strategically using business to accomplish missional purposes. Though the term is ubiquitous in mission circles, there is great disparity in what it means. There has been much talk about BAM in theory, but far less research done on how it works out in reality.

The Reformation restored the Scriptures to the people, but the job was only halfway finished. Today the church is awakening to the truth that ministry is not just the domain of clergy, but belongs to the entire body of Christ.
