One might ask: why would anyone interested in a trade career bother to get trained in ministry? Because God still calls people to ministry, just not always as a full-time career. Young adults still feel called to ministry, but their generation has a strong pragmatic streak. They won’t borrow heavily to launch a career that doesn’t make economic sense. What’s more, those drawn to the trades are not one-dimensional people. Many crave to use another side of their brains or use another part of themselves that doesn’t get much chance to blossom in the workplace or in the home.
