Co-vocational ministry is on the rise. A growing number of pastors, either by choice or out of necessity, earn part of their income in secular employment.    

Our guest, Ryan Flanders, talks about his journey as a pastor and entrepreneur, why he intentionally chose co-vocational ministry, and the benefits of a co-vocational approach.   

Ryan is the founder of "Develop My Ministry" which exists to equip pastors in their walk and in their work. They equip primarily through pastor gatherings, consulting and coaching.

We are in a new era of financial advice. And I for one am very excited about it! The tools and technology available to us today allows advisors to give better advice, to reach more people, and to answer more money questions than ever before!

In this episode, I walk through the history of the financial services industry and how each new era brought changes to the ways people received financial advice. At the end I'll talk about this new era we are in and how financial advice is changing for the better.
