YOUR LEAPING STYLE IS TENTMAKER

Have you ever heard of a Trust fall?

It’s when you are willing to take a risk because you know that there is someone behind you that won’t let you fall. Knowing your leap style helps you confidently fall into the hands of Jesus as you take leaps. It gives you confidence as you look at His history and faithfulness throughout your life in other areas you’ve taken leaps and reassurance that the One who led you to leap, won’t let you fall.

Now let’s learn more about your style of leaping.

WHAT IS A TENTMAKER?

The way you pursue the vision of God, despite the demand of the season you’re in, is an amazing part of your identity and how you have been made in the image of God.

As a TENTMAKER, you understand that your career is helping to fund the ministry work God has led you to do. You also see a new endeavor for the Kingdom as an invitation to carry out His work upon the earth WITH others.

This leap comes from the biblical story of Paul. Although Paul was an apostle, he was also a tentmaker. He makes it very clear in scripture that it was his trade as a tentmaker that funded the ministry work he was doing for God. Paul understood that in order for the work to be done, he needed provision and he already had the skills to obtain the provision he needed.

We can learn so much from his delegation skills, focus, and sacrifice as a leaper.

As a natural tentmaker, you may often find yourself in situations where you are funding the ministry, business, or creative work God has given you as your career and your calling coexist in the same season. You don’t feel that leaving your career is what God is leading you to do but you know He often calls you to sacrifice your leisure time for His Kingdom agenda.

It can be difficult at times, especially when your career or job is demanding and hard. However, that is why you must use the same wisdom and strategy God gave Paul that helped him properly prepare, plan, and execute his leap, to take your own.

“You know that these hands of mine have worked to supply my own needs and even the needs of those who were with me.

–Acts 20:34
