Hugh Halter Very few are talking about it yet, but thousands of pastors are opting for a Bi-Vocational lifestyle. Like the 16th century Trappists discovered, our prayer and our labor go hand in hand in God's economy. Everything is sacred, even our secular work. Bi-Vocational living doesn't have to mean doing two things poorly. It is the pathway of learning how to leverage all of life into one calling. The BiVO life: *Gives you natural street-cred with the culture you live among *Allows you to pastor, mentor, and disciple friends without the pressure of getting anything from them, or growing a church. *Opens up creative and natural ways to bless the culture and make the kingdom tangible. *Allows you to live naturally, while God builds His church from your life ER -
