Coaching for Bi-Vocational Pastors
Just about any time I invite people to be a part of an upcoming Tele-Coaching Network for Senior Pastors (like the one that’s beginning soon), I get requests from Bi-Vocational Pastors to do “bi-vocational pastors coaching.”
I have a huge heart for bi-vocational pastors in part because I can identify with the unique challenges you’re dealing with. I was bi-vocational for the first few years of planting The Journey.
So today, I want to share some good news and bad news about Coaching for Bi-Vocational Pastors.
The bad news, unfortunately, is that we’ve looked at the logistics and the possibilities of trying to do an evening network, and it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to offer anything like that anytime soon.
However, the good news is that the very nature of my Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network makes it “bivo-friendly.” In fact, I have a lot of bi-vocational guys in my current network.
Most of them are able to carve out 2 hours a month from their job to join in on the call (especially considering that you know the dates and times months in advance).
Also, even if you can’t join me for all of the calls, you still receive an MP3 recording of each session. In effect, you’ll build a library of coaching audio that you can listen to over and over.
If you’re a bi-vocational pastor who’s committed to growing personally and leading your church to grow, I strongly encourage you to consider applying for this upcoming network.
I’ve heard time and time again from current participants that the investment, time, and energy it takes to participate is more than worth it for the impact the network has on them and their churches.
P.S. – You can see and hear what some recent coaching participants had to say about their coaching experience here (you can download your application here):
