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.
