I agree bro. I have been doing tentmaking for about 5 years now. Our church plant, among other reasons has seen growth, but I know it would have been significantly more if I did not have to work on the side. I like your tempered approach to it. It is an option, but not the ideal. Unfortunately, I did not have a choice at the time. It has its blessings and curses, thats for sure. But eventually, you always come back to issues time, energy and focus. Tentmaking poses significant challenges to all three of these.
