I'm a part-time seminary student working on a practical theology degree in Spiritual Formation (formerly know as "discipleship"). Someday I'd like to be involved in vocational ministry in this area. I don't want to be a typical pastor. I don't think I even want to be ordained (otherwise I'd be working no an MDiv). One time when I was speaking with a Christian counselor about this, she asked "Do you think anyone would pay you to do that?" Good question. I've been wondering that myself. With all the great need that people see for discipleship, it often looks to me like there are few who really want it. Being a disciple takes us our of our "comfort zone" (to say the least!) and most people seem to be strong comfort seekers (understandably). I don't really see any "role models" doing what I would like to do and being able to support themselves doing it. So I wonder should I just plan on keeping my day job? What do you think?
