Welcome to the new Disciple Blog! December 4, 2009

Ah, the blog–that repository of semi-collected thoughts that we float across cyberspace, hoping desperately to connect with someone else who’s thinking along a similar vein.

We attempted the blog on pulpithelps.com when we redesigned that site 2 years ago: 44 postings later, we had a grand total of 13 comments, only 5 of which were from people not known to me personally. In other words, it flopped.

Still, we thought we’d try again, and our first couple of posts will be some of my timeless favorites from the old blog–my apologies to those of you who did actually read them at the time. We’re doing this, not because it’s a fad (blogging is so early 2000s!) but because it provides a great place for the interaction of ideas without the pressure of “publication” (deadlines, editorial process, etc.). We see it as part of the relationship we’re cultivating with our readers for the purpose of discipleship, which is, of course, our name and the “theme of our song.”

Here’s hoping it takes this time…
