In this brief YouTube short, Paul Woodley reflects on the common belief that the Apostle Paul was a tentmaker. He notes that the biblical text does not explicitly state Paul's profession, suggesting that Paul may have worked a trade like tentmaking to earn money, but also acknowledges that early Christian communities often supported their leaders through offerings. Woodley presents the uncertainty surrounding Paul's livelihood and highlights the broader question of how early Christians were financially sustained.
