Podcasts are a wonderful source of information and a newer way to help build an author’s platform. But you need the right equipment. That microphone needs to work.

Leave a CommentVoices of Hope: Why Young Writers Are Important
In the last month, I suggested some writers who might be worthwhile for the Christian publishing world to give attention. Those with a military or missionary season in their lives could be helpful to the Church today since they both lived a good piece of their lives in positions where personal preference, comfort, and fulfillment were far down on their priority lists. Submission, courage, faithfulness, a clear idea of the real enemy, and a sense of mission might be helpful perspectives for believers now, and both military people and missionaries have these things down cold.

They have grown and multiplied, and though at times they are recalcitrant, I have loved them. How many must go? Which ones are weak, superfluous, misplaced, unclear, redundant? You know, Lord. I approach them now as a gardener, not a butcher. But it still hurts. Give me clarity, give me fortitude. Make me merciless, make me wise. Supply boldness, provide discretion. And in your …
