What’s NewTime Management for Christian Writers (15 mins)

A three-part method for fitting the writing life into real life. If you’re a writer or aspiring writer, this one is for you.

Weekly Word

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
– Matthew 5:16

True productivity is not about getting noticed, but about making Christ known. When you perform your tasks and make your decisions today, do them with the aim of pointing others to the One who empowers you.

Worth Your TimeDeath to Inboxes (13 mins)
I enjoyed this take on the impossibility of Inbox Zero for the modern worker. Daniel also happens to be an Academy member. “Now we have labels, and smart rules, and tagging and here are guides like Ten Steps I Used To Get To Inbox Zero And Master My Hustle Business. The implication is obvious: If you can’t get to inbox zero, it’s your fault. Well I don’t buy it anymore.” Work is More than a Paycheck (4 mins)
If you’ve ever fantasized about having a do-nothing job—having the paycheck without the stress or responsibilities—this from Scot Bellavia is a helpful corrective to that utilitarian view of work. Reading as Rebellion (8 mins)
”In today’s world, reading is an act of holy insurgency. I want you to ignore the chatter of parents and professors who claim you’re no longer able or willing to exercise your mind through reading. I want you to swim upstream against the currents that make it easy to settle for superficiality.” The E3 Pastor’s Conference in Detroit
The wonderful folks at Inter-City Baptist Church are hosting their annual E3 Pastors Conference on October 16-17. The theme is salient: “Leading Through Change and Conflict.” This is a fantastic conference every year. (And if you are planning to attend, let me know. I’d love to meet you.)Words of Wisdom

“Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker’s faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental, and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God.”
– Dorothy Sayers
