The more skills you have, the more options are open to you.

This is never truer than for church leaders.

Sometimes, promising young leaders end up in churches that can pay them a salary instead of churches God is calling them to.

Sometimes, potential church planters don’t do it because it means leaving the paycheck an existing church provides.

Sometimes, burnt out pastors stay in the role even when it would be better not to.

Usually it’s not about greed, it’s about lack of options.

You don’t know how to do anything else.

When your only skills are for church work, what can you do when you need to no longer be paid by a church?

What skills could you learn that will open up your options?

Learn them.
