Question from Amber Vandermaarl: My question is related to blogging. It seems to be the overarching recommendation for getting into a rhythm of writing and gaining potential exposure to see if my words resonate with anyone. But, being a young mom, I HATE the connotation of the “mommy blog”. But being a mom of one, soon to be 2, that is my every day. That is where I learn my lessons and am being daily sanctified. That is my fodder for writing. So finally to the question: should I do it anyway? Do...

Article : https://jamedders.com/confessing-the-sin-of-platforming/ Babel and the Baptist are at odds. Let’s make a name for ourselves. Let’s not. Let’s increase our following. Let’s decrease, dwindle to peanuts, and baton everything toward Christ. How can we increase our social media buzz? How can people see more of Christ by what I do? There’s a fuzzy tension here. It’s possible to want to help others think biblically, to look to Christ, to learn God’s word, and also “market” or strategize or s...
