Content We All Need: Inspire Others to Write
The problem is grave, but it also presents us with an urgent opportunity for a solution. Now, more than ever, pastors must extend their influence beyond their congregations and traditional sermons. We are uniquely positionedto serve as the stewards of Biblical values, not just within the walls of our churches, but in the broader cultural dialogue. By engaging in writing — be it books, articles, or even screenplays — we can be the moral compass that society is desperately seeking.
As a pastor and writer, I can’t ignore the troubling signs that our society’s moral fabric is deteriorating. The data is clear and concerning moral and ethical standards are on the decline, and there’s a correlating decrease in the production and consumption of Christian content. We’re at a tipping point, and it’s imperative that we act now.
The issue at hand is too critical to ignore. The call to action is clear: we must utilize the written word as another pulpit from which to spread Biblical values and moral clarity. Now is not the time for silence; it’s the time for meaningful, faith-driven discourse.
These insights, I believe can uplift and enlighten. This is where you’ll find content that connects spirituality with everyday life.
The Dual Role I Embrace and the Content We All Need
As a pastor and writer, I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible potential of reaching hearts and minds through the spoken and written word. We’re navigating a world where societal morals seem to be eroding at an alarming rate. Statistical data shows a decline in ethical and moral standards, which many believe is related to reduced Christian content produced and consumed. This grim backdrop makes the role of pastors all the more crucial. I genuinely believe that now is the time to reach beyond the pulpit and become beacons of Biblical values through the written word.

The Declining Moral Landscape
I’ve seen the statistics, and they are disheartening. You can learn more about these statistics in my article “The Urgent Need for Christian Voices in Books, TV, and Movies: Addressing America’s Moral Decline in 2023.” The weakening moral fabric of society correlates with a decrease in exposure to Christian content, teachings, and values.

From transcribing my sermons to writing poems, fiction, non-fiction, and articles, I can testify that we have an opportunity to impact lives in a more lasting way through the written word.

When transcribing my sermons into books, I extend the life and reach of the messages God has laid upon my heart, providing a permanent resource for spiritual nourishment.

Whether I’m delivering a sermon or penning an article, the essence of effective communication remains the same—clarity, conciseness, and a direct pathway to the soul.

Write What Last
Books, articles, and even poems become lasting testaments that can be revisited and shared, expanding the scope of our ministry.
Testimonies from the Silent Pulpit
I’ve been blessed by ministers whom I’ve never met in person, just by reading their work. I know others have found the same blessings through my writings, even though they’ve never stepped foot in my church.
The Limitations of Auditory Messages
As much as I love preaching from the pulpit, I acknowledge its limitations in reaching those who may never attend a service.
Pen and Pulpit: Perfect Partners
By turning Sunday’s sermons and insights into written content, we can reach a global audience starving for true moral guidance.
Writing for a Better World
Imagine if more Pastors/Christians wrote books that served as resources for educators, parents, and policymakers. We could effectively slow down, if not reverse, the moral decline we are witnessing.
Conclusion
From my own experience as a Pastor/Christian who writes, I can affirm that expanding our ministries into the written word is more than a calling—it’s a necessity. Writing not only amplifies the messages we preach but also serves as an enduring resource that stands against the tide of moral decay.
