Looking For A Way Out

[JDawggS316]

I am currently attending seminary fulltime (my first year) and have already received a Bachelors in Theology and Philosophy. I have been working in the same phone bank for about 3 years now and I'm about ready to go crazy. It is in no way fulfilling and, actually, it can be demoralizing.

I've looked online and in other local ads and have not found any fulltime ministry job openings.

Does anyone have any advice? I feel so trapped here.

Advice? If you don't get any direction, get another job or keep the one you have.

In the Bible, local church overseers were mature men who had proven themselves through living godly lifestyles and leading their families well. They were 'senior men', 'older men' or 'elders.

There were also apostles and evangelists who traveled from place to place proclaiming the Gospel to unbelievers who had not heard it before. When churches were formed, they would support people like this.

If your ministry is in a local church, it is an honorable thing to get a 'regular job' and pour your free time into that local church, training and equipping, and if the Lord wants to raise you up as a leader within that church, let him do it. If you sense a call to evangelistic ministry, spend your time sharing the word with unbelievers and see if He would lead you to some kind of itinerant role.
