Why I’m Making Three Blogs One!
I’ve been putting this off for too long.
Three Blogs, Three Communities, Three Related Topics
edunderwood.com: The most comprehensive website–”a conversation about radical hope and radical Christianity with shepherd and author, Ed Underwood.” I started this blog way before I knew what I was doing and by the time my friendJohn Saddington looked at it, it was almost unresurrectable. So, we decided to start another blog in support of my second book, Reborn to Be Wild.
jesusmovementblog: An insider’s view of the last great revival in American history, the Jesus Movement of the 60s and 70s. John Saddington crafted this blog for my more edgy and radical writing. But after I wrote Reborn to Be Wild, my heart was so re-radicalized that everything I write is somewhat edgy. This blog was a great conversation place to gather old Jesus Movement radicals. But they’re all reading the edunderwood.com website now, so I’m just going to put all my Jesus Movement musings under the category, Radical Christianity.
tippingpointsblog: Short, pithy pieces coming from my personal study and experiences as I prepare for weekly sermons and leadership as Senior Pastor of Church of the Open Door. This blog was primarily for our faith community and still goes out as a weekly email to all who are on the mailing list of our great and historic church. I’m not navigating all of these to edunderwood.com under the category of Bible Teaching and still designating them as tipping point devotionals.
One Blog, One Community of Readers, One Happier Author
But I gotta tell you, keeping up with all three blogs and keeping all of them separate just wasn’t working.
So, beginning today, 1 January 2011, the three become one. I hope those of you from each sub-community will enjoy meeting one another.
My passion in all of this continues to be to lead disciplemakers, post blogs, and write books that unleash the untamed Jesus from the redeemed hearts of Christians who get grace–in all of its unencumbered and raw glory.
So, tell me what you think?
Any suggestions you’d like me to consider as I “make the three one”?
Hey Ed, I just stumbled upon your “one blog out of three” post, and couldn’t have identified more with you in how tough it is to keep up with three (or more) blogs along with everything else going on.
As I’ve looked through the site though, I have been thoroughly encouraged by your posts and by your years of experience and faithfulness in serving our Lord.
Keep up the awesome job… because I plan on becoming a regular reader!
Your colaborer in Christ,
Steve
