eChaplain.com began life as a daily email in the fall of 2001. Each weekday morning, a few paragraphs went out to some “opt-in” subscribers that were friends or coworkers of mine. It was originally intended to provide a bit of perspective and perhaps help stimulate some thought about integrating faith and work.
One day, a friend of mine, Biblical Sales Trainer, speaker, and author, Michael Pink sent me a gentle e-mail warning me that the volume I was writing each weekday wasn’t really sustainable. I kept right on writing at my vigorous pace, but eventually . . . a few months later . . . his wisdom proved true. The frequency of the emails dropped, eventually ceasing entirely.
Since then, I’ve lost track of some of the subscribers, have grown my consulting practice, and now find myself interacting with a different group of people. The habit of writing for subscribers has, however, always held a special allure for me. The time I spent constructing those messages proved extremely valuable to me personally, and, quite frankly, I miss it.
So . . . today I launch the “blog” version of eChaplain.com. This platform is brand new to me, but having gone through the technical process of setting things up has already hooked me. Posts may or may not appear with real frequency, but my hope is that wherever you are in your journey, at whatever time you read from these pages, you’ll find yourself challenged and inspired.
