Should I Share My Opinion on Social Media?
From politics to parenting, our world is not short on opinions. In fact, at the end of the day, I doubt anyone goes to bed thinking, “I wish I knew just one more thing about how someone else is thinking.” The joys of social media: a fantastic tool in the hands of some, and a landmine that can blow at any moment in the hands of others. As someone with a platform (not near as large as most), I used to struggle with what I should share and what I shouldn’t share. I came up with three guidelines that have helped me, and I hope they are valuable to you as you seek discernment in sharing on social media. Guideline #1: If my opinion is different than God’s opinion, I’m wrong. Isaiah 55:8-9 remind us, “’For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.’” Basically, God is reminding us here that we’re not going to ever understand fully what He does or why He does it. So whether we [...]

3 Tips for Writing Better Content
While it may seem to some that I have multiple career paths, when I’m asked what I do, I usually say, “I’m a writer and a teacher.” Because writing is a consistent part of my ministry, I’m often asked, “How do I become a better writer?” Here are my top three tips, whether you also want to write a book, you want to strengthen your blog, or beef up your social media content. Tip #1: Read good content. Writers are readers. Reading helps us learn new things and spurs new thoughts in our brains. If we have nothing to share, it probably means we haven’t learned anything new. I subscribe to about 4 different blogs, and in addition to my Bible, I’m usually reading two others books at the same time: one for spiritual development and one for personal development. I’ve learned so much about writing by remaining a student of talented writers. Side note: I’m pretty sure this goes without saying, but I’m not advocating plagiarism. If you’re reading someone else’s thoughts and it stems a new idea in your brain, I always recommend being above reproach and giving credit to the author whose thoughts inspired your words. [...]
