Fellow Bi-Vocational Ministers…Let’s Talk.

Under another recent thread, the topic of bi-vocational ministry came up. That prompted me to start this thread so that fellow ministers of the Gospel, retired or current, formerly bi-vocational or currently, could help each other. Bi-vocational ministry is currently the norm and will become even more of the norm in the future.

What are the biggest blessings of being a bi-vocational minister? What are the biggest struggles? How do you balance family/work/life? What is going well? What is not going well?

I am going to start a comment thread for each of these questions, and if you have your own questions, please feel free to start your own comment thread.
