The Gospel Coalition

If you take a look at my sidebar and peruse my blog archives by month, you might notice something odd: there is no July for 2008, 2009, or 2010. The month skips from June to August each year. That's because, for those three years, I spent the month of July away from social media and the blog world. 31 days without any blogging or tweeting or updating my facebook.

Blogging is an act of stewardship, an act that is fraught with peril even as it is bursting with possibilities. One of the only ways I know how to check my heart and discern where blogging is potentially harmful to my soul is to get away from it.

Last year, I approached my annual "sabbatical" differently. I re-ran some older posts from my blog archive. And I provided a platform for some other bloggers.

I'm going to take the same approach this year. I hope to schedule 10-15 posts from guest bloggers for the month of July. If you're interested in submitting something, take a look at the following qualifications:

  1. You must be an active blogger yourself. (I would link to your blog or website.)

  2. You must be familiar with the Kingdom People audience and willing to write accordingly.

  3. You must focus on delivering helpful, edifying content for the good of the church and the glory of God.

  4. You must submit the guest posts to me by June 21.


If you meet these qualifications, then send me an email, tell me the subject you'd like to write about, and then we can discuss the possibility of collaboration. No doubt the quality of blogging here at Kingdom People will rise during the month of July with the addition of some new voices!
