I just launched my Substack Radicalis on slow living and theology and literature...and your main ideas and purpose behind Slow Faith resonates deeply with me and how I feel about writing and platform-building as well. Brava, and thank you for giving me yet another reminder to reeeeeally be intentional in this area
” What does it look like to live intentionally and pursue Christ in an era of speed and branding and promotion?" This is the QUESTION! I hate how at odds my author platform is with my spiritual writing life. There are no simple answers, but I'm looking forward to reading more of your insights.
Reminds me of a quote I read along the lines of "Don't go outside of God's will to get something because you will have to stay outside of God's will to keep it". God will elevate you at your appointed time, keep doing your part(the writing) and surrendering to him!
I'm a writer and have been meditating on those same verses the past few weeks (in the same translation too haha)! Galatians 5:22-26 is another encouraging passage for those of us who are letting God set the pace of our lives. It's comforting to know that, as God's kids, we don't have to hustle :) Excited to see where your questions take you!

I am always so grateful for your vulnerability and honesty. You’re a gifted writer and I can’t wait to see where God takes you next 💜
Nicki thank you so much for your kindness! Honesty is a wonderful thing :)
Love this! I've grappled with this myself.
And I need a barefoot side of the highway pic 😂
Be careful when you take your shoes off because the pebbles on the side of highways can be painful!
Thank you so much for reading! Do you write too?
