Many bivocational pastors have little or no formal theological training. Bivocational ministry is looked at by some as a second-class ministry performed by people who do not have the opportunity to serve a larger church. Along with your family and church responsibilities, your second job also requires a large amount of time each week. But you have a special calling, as both of your jobs can provide opportunities for ministry. In his new book, Dennis Bickers provides solid advice to help you succeed in bivocational ministry. You'll learn how to: Manage time wiselyDefine success on your own termsDevelop a vision for your churchMaintain a passion for the ministryAnd much more!Read Dennis Bicker's Blo
