Ministry Sustainability without Money Stress, with Eric Hoke (Ep 101)

“If God has called you to ministry, does that mean that God has only called you to receive your compensation from the church?”
Karl Vaters interviews Eric Hoke on The Small Church Lobby podcast.

Eric Hoke is known as the “I Help Pastors Get Jobs” guy.

I talked with Eric about how to build long-term sustainable ministry, reduce financial stress, and create value in the marketplace by becoming an intentionally covocational pastor.

Eric’s new book, Market Street Pastor: Ministry Sustainability without Money Stress, addresses many of the issues involved in making the shift toward covocational ministry.

This conversation covers:

  • The mindset shift that most pastors must take to start down this road
  • The value pastors bring to the marketplace
  • Finding your marketable skills through using the Heart-Head-Hands-Feet method
  • How to get through the clutter of thousands of job applicants
  • How to present yourself and your skills

and more.
