    Podcasting in a Car

    I’m slowly rebranding this podcast. You’ll hear the new tagline in this one: A personal audio journal of faith and folly. I’m still massaging the delivery. This podcast was recorded in my car.

    Sometimes Life Gets in the Way of Podcasting

    Sometimes Life Gets in the Way of Podcasting

    Sometimes life gets in the way of podcasting and that’s OK. Don’t beat yourself up over it.







    My friend, Scott Roche helped me understand this after sharing a post on TikTok. I highly recommend that you follow him if you do anything creative.







    Sometimes the things that prevent you from podcasting are in your control and other times they’re out of your control. Whatever, the reason, it’s OK.

    Feeling on the Outside

    Feeling on the Outside

    Despite being a podcaster since 2005, I still feel like I’m on the outside looking in.

    My Love-Hate Relationship With Social Media

    My Love-Hate Relationship With Social Media

    I have a love/hate relationship with social media. Part of what I struggle with is which platforms I should invest in. The concept of “being everywhere” is hard to maintain when you’re a team of one.







    I’m at a point where I need to simplify my approach to social media and cultivate the platforms that yield the best results.







    For now, you can interact with me on the following social media platforms:















    Check out my latest podcasting project: Good News Pickleball (formerly Three Minute Bible Study).

    My 3 Words for 2024

    My 3 Words for 2024

    My 3 Words is a yearly exercise to help people focus on three ways they can achieve their goals. For a better explanation of My 3 Words, check out Chris Brogan’s blog. He does a better job explaining it than I do.







    Embrace







    I’m embracing all aspects of who I am. In the past, I’ve shied away from sharing that I’m a Christian in other projects besides those directly related to Christianity. This year I’m going to lean into it, when appropriate.







    Cultivate







    I have a lot of things going on in social media, podcasting, and other online ventures. This year I’m going to cultivate those things that produce the best results instead of spreading myself so thin.







    Simplify







    Simple doesn’t equal to easy. Sometimes it’s easier to write or say more. It can be difficult to be precise. It’s easier to record a podcast and only edit obvious mistakes instead of editing for content.







    By now, you should see these three words in nearly all of my social media profiles. I’m putting them there to remind me what I’m aiming for this year.
