Are you a digital tentmaker?
John Saddington wrote an excellent post on his journey as a digital tentmaker and what being a digital tentmaker is all about. I remember the first time I heard the term. I was so excited! I wasn’t the only one with this idea, and now I had an awesome way to describe what I was trying to do!
It has been my family’s goal as missionaries to Italy, to become full-time digital tentmakers, and it’s so cool to hear about so many others who are interested in doing the same thing.
Of course, being a tentmaker doesn’t always have to be digital media. I’ve been able to use web, audio and blogging to leverage some success, but not everyone can do that.
