Could someone help me understand if you have filed form 4361 and approved for SE exemption and are an employee of a church but also travel doing missionary work and other ministerial work, if the tavel expenses are more then then offering can those expenses reduce other self employed income from other activities?

Nonexempt earnings. Exemption from self-employment tax does not apply to earnings from
services that are not ministerial. so losses from minisrerial activities can not be used to offset those.
