Jaona 15:9-10

What if there’s a simple way of living, a way of “practicing” our life, that inexorably draws us closer to Jesus’ gravitational pull—close enough that we can no longer escape his orbit? What if we replace the 543 “must-do’s” of the Christian life with only one thing? What if our interest and curiosity is funneled into a “nothing but Jesus” kind of life?

Lots of people are simply making it. They are not thriving at life–they are just surviving life. Do you find yourself in that group–the group that is just surviving? There is a way to thrive no matter what your circumstances may be. The Bible calls it an “overcoming spirit.”

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a Christian writer in some capacity. Perhaps you maintain a consistent blog or regularly post on social media. Some might contribute articles for Christian magazines or websites. Others have written and published books – traditionally or independently. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, you desire to honor Jesus in your writing. We want to encourage you as fellow Christian writers along the journey!
