The Apostle Paul famously served as a tentmaker to support himself during his ministry in the First Century. What does it look like for Christians today to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps? How can tentmaking serve Kingdom priorities in the rainy days ahead?On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Troy Albee – pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church on the South Shore of Boston – provides helpful insights from his own experience as an entrepreneur. Like Paul, Troy helped support himself while in ministry by identifying a need anddeveloping the skills to meet it. In Trent’s case, he launched a successful lock and key business – South Shore Lock and Key.Side hustles provide Christians additional income, flexibility and opportunities. Small business ventures also offer unexpected spiritual insights. You may be stretched and face rejection. But you will also discover new strengths, while finding opportunities to mentor the younger believers around you and engage the lost in your midst. Christians should not take all of this for granted. The cultural landscape is increasingly hostile. The workplace is toooften a place where Christians are targeted and pressured to compromise. That is why Christian enterprise will play a critical role in the coming days.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
