In the evolving landscape of church planting, a co-vocational approach to pastoring is gaining traction. Co-vocational ministry presents a mindset that sees work outside the church as having intrinsic, sacred value and as a strategic choice rather than a temporary compromise.

Here’s the challenge: Who in your daily life are you seeing as scenery or machinery? How can you intentionally move them into the “human” category?

The church, no matter how well-intentioned and kind-hearted, is sometimes rejected by the local community. This is a painful reality that can be hard to accept. It’s one thing to face indifference, but when opposition is organized, vocal, and hostile, it can leave church planters and mission teams wondering, “How long should we stay and endure this?”
