When you work online, owning software is just a way of life. At last count, I have subscriptions to exactly 13 pieces of software. Anything from Canva (for digital graphics work) to SERanking (for search engine data) to Vellum (book formatting software). All of them, I would argue, are completely necessary to effectively manage different […]

Another month, another update. Getting tired of these yet? GOOD BECAUSE I’M NOT. Seriously, I look forward to this article because I get to geek out on a bunch of stuff that I don’t normally get to geek out on. For instance, the last few articles for me have been about core updates (yawn), ChatGPT

I learned something new the other day: Google hates me. Well, not me per se, but definitely my website that I’ve been working on. If you’ve followed along with this blog, you know that in October I launched the Bible Blog Project. Basically, it’s Bible-based blog (super original, I know) that I started completely from

Using modern science, we know that the circulatory system carries oxygen to all parts of the body, fueling the muscles and helping your

The new year is upon us, which can only mean one thing: Goal-setting. Every year, as regular as the mail, the clock strikes midnight and millions of people all over the world flip the switch into becoming the “best version of themselves.” I, personally, love it.  I’ve always been that special breed of weirdo that

It’s been three months now and my experience so far has generated some mixed results. On the one hand, my numbers continue to grow. My email list recently crossed 2,000 people and the traffic is increasing regularly. On the other hand, the amount of work that is going into this thing — and what I

For a lot of new bloggers, frequency is usually one of the biggest question marks they have. How often should I blog?  Should I schedule posts? Should I drop them all whenever they’re ready? Will the world explode if I stop posting at the same time every week? Fortunately, here’s the truth about blogging frequency:

A few weeks ago, we started an email marketing experiment with several churches to see about building an email list that they could reach out to a regular basis. The theory was that if we could get people on a list that have voluntarily given us contact information, then we could gradually engage them to
