Eric Hoke discusses the distinction between bivocational and co-vocational ministry, sharing insights from his book "Market Street Pastor." Drawing from his experience planting a church in the Bronx, Hoke explores how pastors can thrive by intentionally combining marketplace work with church leadership, challenging traditional ministry models while offering practical solutions for sustainable church leadership.

Over his 30 years at the church, Pastor David has led the West Houston Christian Church through a cultural shift as the surrounding community has changed. When he first joined, services were predominantly in Chinese except for the youth. But over time, they developed an English-speaking adult ministry and saw more intermarriages. Pastor David had a vision to grow the church beyond just a Chinese immigrant congregation.
