Pastor’s are really busy people. They are loaded with responsibilities and they have the chore of having a to-do list that leaves them little breathing space. So where does blogging fall in a platter full of things to do?
I’ve seen plenty of pastors start blogs, get excited about blogging and then discover that writing posts is just one more activity to consume an already busy day.
Are there any helpful tips?
Yes there is. I point to David Porter, a layman from the Scottsdale Bible Church in Arizona, who has a well-defined mission statement for his blog. He knows why he has a blog and he knows why he develops and writes posts everyday. He knows it’s a tool to communicate and he wants to be effective in using this tool. So, he has a plan.
I invite pastors and everyone else with a blog or thinking about blogging to read his blog’s mission state.
