Covenant: the foundations of Substack Seminary

You're not alone - we're doing this together
  • We have a calling to share the Gospel. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be paid.

  • Learning to serve on task-based contract - not doing everything, all the time.

  • ‘I foolishly started a denomination…’

  • How ministry is like a business - how are we bringing something valuable and life-changing into people’s lives?

  • Thinking about ministry as creative work.

  • Paying pastors what they’re worth (and believing that our work is priceless).

  • Staying in the church - but in a separate lane. Not leaving church.

  • Not tying our identity to our work.

  • The risks and rewards of Covenant.

  • Why we should not be on call 24/7 as pastors.

  • YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Substack Seminary Q1 begins January 12, 2026. Subscribe at the Founding level to enroll!
