The Loft is open, come on up!
#TheLoft
The Loft is the place for conversation, community, networking, and Christian growth. Each week we provide a topic to start the conversation.
Then, Monday night, at 9pm Eastern, the link goes live and all week you can link up your post on that week’s topic.
We’ll have fun topics, serious topics, practical, soul-ful, holiday, and so, so much more…we can’t wait to get started! This is not only a great way to connect with others, it’s also a fun and easy way to establish a writing habit. If you aren’t a blogger, you are welcome to join in by leaving your comments in the comment section.
Listening is a lost art. Especially in the blogosphere where everyone wants to be heard. At The Loft, we know that listening is rewarding and rich… surprisingly so. So we want to provide an opportunity for Christian bloggers to speak and listen, grow and be encouraged. We invite you up to the Loft, an out of the way upper room where we’ll talk, laugh, learn, and leave a little bit changed.
So grab your coffee mug and come on up! Hang out for a bit. We betcha you’ll be glad you did.
To Participate:
1. Be creative. Feel free to use words, photos, video, audio, your family pet, whatever, to communicate on the weekly topic.
2. Listen twice as much as you talk. If you leave one link, visit two. Trust us on this one~wink.
3. Be a community. Include #TheLoft graphic and hashtag in your post and social media so we can find each other. Also, share the great stuff you find when you visit around…we’ll be doing the same.
When you link up at The Loft, your link will appear on 5 blogs! We’d love for you to visit The Loft co-hosts and know who we are:
Now it’s time to link up!
This Week’s Topic: “Blogs that Inspire”
There are several blogs out there that offer inspiration for me…and hopefully for you, too. Allow me to share them.
Elaine Olsen blogs at PeacefortheJourney. Elaine is a pastor’s wife, mom, author, speaker, and cancer survivor. The words that she pens are elegant and full of truth. Elaine loves Jesus and it shows in her writing. I hope you will visit her.
Lisa Shaw blogs at LisaShawCares. Lisa is a wife, mom, grandma, author, and speaker. Her heart is to help women be what God designed them to be. Active in ministry alone, and with her hubby, Peter, Lisa takes every opportunity to share Jesus with hurting women.
Michael Hyatt blogs at MichaelHyatt. The former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Hyatt blogs about leadership, platform, publishing, and productivity. His posts are chock full of helpful information for those interested in being the best leaders they can be.
James Denison blogs at Denison Forum on Truth and Culture. Dr. Denison’s writing niche is relating modern day culture to biblical truth. A former pastor, Dr. Denison takes today’s headlines and weaves biblical challenge and truth into them. I am always challenged to view world events in through the lens of Scripture.
Jennifer Dukes Lee blogs at Jennifer Dukes Lee. A former newspaper journalist, Jennifer write the stories of life. Her blog posts are engaging, lovely, and reach deep into the heart of the reader, all the while pointing to Jesus.
I hope you will take time to visit these wonderful writers.
Next Week’s Topic:“Greatest Insecurity” (We are going vulnerable here, asking you to share your greatest insecurity. How do you recognize it when it creeps up? What does insecurity sound like to you: What do you do to silence it? Any scriptures that help you fight it?)
