Reflections on Year One (#0102)

2010/06/09 By Greg

As I began to read more and more blogs and participate in social media, I wanted to create a site to share some of my thoughts.  Sowhatfaith.com started one year ago today when I launched a shell of a website and a simple introduction:

Welcome to the site that continually asks the critical question, “So what?” when it comes to issues of faith.  This is not the place for answers.  It is a place to find encouragement for asking the important so what questions and responding with lives of radical discipleship that display a faith that matters.

The strongest component of my site in the first year is my blog.  While the interval between posts has varied during different seasons, I have averaged roughly one post on a topic of interest and one book review a week.  In total, I wrote 101 entries the first year including:

  • 3 Series
    • The Future Church – Top 10 Changes
    • Who is Jesus?
    • One Faith – Many Traditions
  • 23 articles about trends
  • 48 book reviews

Since my goal was to create more than a blog, the site also includes additional pages:

  • Adult Discipleship – materials I developed for classes I taught or facilitated
  • Sermons – manuscripts and video
  • Children and Youth Ministry 
  • About/Contact 

So What?

How has sowhatfaith.com encouraged you to ask the important so what questions and to respond with a life of radical discipleship that displays a faith that matters?
