One argument I hear about full time verses bivocational christian leadership sounds like this: 'Well, if you can't get paid to do what you do, then getting a job to support your hobby (meaning pastoral work) is great.'
I would agree doing ministry part time is way better than not doing it at all. The real question is not the money. What bivocation demands is a contentment with a modest amount of creativity, energy and passion for ministry.
For me the issue has always been.....'but i could do so much more if i could devote myself to it.' that is the rub for me.
