Boldly Bi-Vocational offers a fresh perspective on ministry, challenging traditional notions of full-time pastoral work. Drawing from personal experience and biblical wisdom, Powell presents bi-vocational ministry as a strategic and fulfilling calling rather than a mere stopgap measure. This book explores the biblical foundations of bi-vocational ministry, tracing its roots to the apostle Paul's tent-making example.

Key topics include: * The glory of diversified kingdom investment * Navigating the challenges and opportunities of bi-vocational life * Balancing roles and maintaining boundaries * Enhancing preaching through real-world experience * Correcting common ministry pitfalls Powell offers practical advice for pastors considering or currently engaged in bi-vocational ministry, as well as guidance for churches supporting such leaders. He presents this paradigm not as a universal solution, but as a biblically grounded option for expanding gospel influence.
