EntrePastors

During the time of Jesus ministry here on earth, some of the greatest opposition he faced came from the leaders of the religious establishment of his day.  At one point, Jesus compared the Pharisees to “old wineskins” implying that they were too rigid to accept him.  Jesus could not be contained in their religious traditions and rules.  This new move of God that Jesus came to usher in would require new approaches, new traditions, and new structures.  As pastors, we need to be careful that we don’t fall into the rut of thinking and acting like “old wineskins.”  In this 4-part series of podcast episodes, Jon will unpack 4 observations about old wineskins and share insights on how we can think, live, and act as new wineskins, believing God for new strategies, mindsets, and tactics in a new season of ministry.

In this “Saturday Replay” addition of the EntrePastors podcast, we are reaching way back to one of our very first (and also most popular) episodes in which Jon and Les share four different profiles of people who will benefit from the EntrePastors message.  In other words, who is this podcast for?

1. Pastors who want to start, own, and operate a business in addition to leading a church.
2. Pastors who want to add one or more streams of revenue to their income.
3. Pastors who want to transition out of traditional ministry and into a new season of life.
4. People with a desire to be in ministry, but are not currently “employed” by a church.

In this episode of the EntrePastors podcast Jon and Les talk with guest Rick Craig about his journey from church pastor to author and end-of-life planning consultant. Rick shares how he sought guidance through prayer, transitioned to a new ministry assignment, and actively pursued different income opportunities. He emphasizes the importance of end-of-life planning and conversations about faith, using his business skills to serve others. Rick's experience, from forming prayer teams to finding fulfillment in his new role, provides inspiration and valuable insights for pastors and individuals navigating ministry and life changes. His story highlights the importance of seeking guidance, embracing change, and finding purpose in our work.

So many would-be entrepreneurs get caught in the trap of “tomorrow.”  They have a good business idea.  They have a pretty clear picture of their desired future.  But too often the plan is always to start “tomorrow.”  They usually have a reason as to why they’re not ready to start today.  In this 4-part series of podcast episodes, Jon shares what is usually underlying all the procrastination and stalling and you will be challenged to get started...right now!  Tomorrow is TODAY!  Tomorrow is NOW!  It’s time to take action and get moving on your EntrePastor journey.

Four truths about fear and action:

• It’s ok to feel afraid.
• Perfectionism is nothing more than fear masking itself as something more respectable.
• Action brings clarity, but procrastination fuels fear.
• Countless opportunities are waiting for me on the other side of ACTION!

How do you balance having a strong drive or ambition to grow and succeed on one hand with the command to be content in your current circumstances on the other?  This is a common struggle for anyone who seeks to live a godly life, yet make a big impact in the world whether through their ministry or business pursuits.  In this “Saturday Replay” episode of the EntrePastors Podcast, Jon and Les along with their guest, Scott Cramer, touch on this theme.  Scott entered vocational ministry out of a family-owned business, but he still leans into his entrepreneurial giftings in both pastoral ministry as well as the marketplace.  Scott shares some insights he’s learned along his journey that we are confident will inspire and encourage other pastors who are on a similar journey.
