Thanks for the Support!

Vision always requires a team and our team is winning!

Substack just sent me this celebratory sticker, and I want to post it and say thanks to everybody that made it happen!

I am committed to creating 24 episodes on the Grounded Podcast this year. I’m also working on the release of my upcoming book called, “ReJesus Everything,” which should come out in the next month or so.

At this stage, what started as a passion project is developing into something a little bit bigger and more substantial. We are posting content every day on social media to drive young people toward this conversation on Substack.

This means adding staff to help keep up with it so I can keep my focus on creating the content and not “running the machine,” which is pretty complicated. Artist. Editor. Social media manager.

We’re up to 5,330 subscribers across the social networks and it has grown 133% last month alone.

Thanks so much to those of you who have responded by becoming paid subscribers on Substack. We got our first “Legacy” subscriber this week and that’s what put us on the map with Substack. We still have less than 1,000 subscribers so these are those important early days. You’re helping to fund the expansion of our online ministry and we’re grateful for the help and encouragement.

Our huge thanks also to those of you who support Sherry and me as full-time servants in global missions through Emerge Missions. This work is our life, not our hobby. Your support makes it happen and we are deeply grateful.

This week I want to try another live response video (after the fiasco of my first attempt) because we’re getting a lot of thoughtful responses by email and through the online response avenues. I think there have been a few good points raised, and I’d like to respond to them online. So look for that next week.

Thanks again for helping us grow the podcast by sharing the show with others. It’s a HUGE factor in our success going forward. Substack is old-school. It is literally humans sending the show to other humans, not like social media with algorithms and automated systems. It allows the content creator to build a relationship with real people and to engage them in a conversation over time. It’s unique in this respect, and that’s why we chose it.

Thanks again!

Chuck and Sherry
