Paul was a tentmaker and a preacher. How is God calling you to work hard and to be involved in ministry? Where are your priorities when it comes to your earthly vocation and your kingdom ministry? Are you actively trying to integrate those two things? What do you think it looks like to do both well? Are there things in this world that you fear losing? How would that fear tend to obscure the reality of God’s sovereignty and goodness in your life? Are there certain liberties that you are unwilling to give up for the sake of the gospel? Does the gospel shape your perspective of freedom and rights, or do you find that your politics tend to shape your perspective? Who are the friends with whom you share life and ministry? What important words of encouragement have they shared that kept you firmly grounded in the gospel?
