Currently there is a room for a wide variety of articles. We don’t want to limit anyone, but please consider the following.

Be friendly, speaking conversationally with readers and not addressing “society.”

Be a “mentor” and friend, not necessarily an “expert.”

Avoid “preaching,” which can come across as condescending and irrelevant.

Aim to engage our readers’ hearts, as we’re primarily in the business of affecting lives, not changing society.

Use personal stories as illustrations and to spark our readers’ imaginations.

“Show me, don’t tell me” – engage my senses.

Avoid clichés; instead, try to find a fresh and clever way of getting across what you want to say.

Include references to Scripture (ranging from allusions to quotations).

Include references to scholarly/classical thought (both Christian and non-

Christian).

Practice discernment/sensitivity regarding making reference to potentially offensive books, movies, music, and videogames.

Among other things, encourage biblical masculinity in men (to pursue, take risks, initiate, take responsibility, sacrifice) and biblical femininity in women (to prepare, nurture, embolden, “marry well”).

Instill “counter-cultural courage.”

Articles should be delivered according to the follow specifications.

Word document attached to email.
