Fear and Substack

Fear is a formidable beast.

Like most things in life, though, it has its good points and its bad. Fear often preserves our very lives, but—likely, more regularly—it keeps us from living. I try to remind myself that fear seldom comes from God and that making the “safe” choice won’t necessarily get me to the Promised Land.

So, here I am, with a writing platform on Substack, ready to go all in. Let me assure you that I am not doing it because I am brave. I am doing it because I am not brave.

That’s reason enough for today.

Those are the words I typed up for my new Substack platform today. Will I continue posting here? Yes, I hope to, but I’ve been avoiding a larger audience for a long time. Let’s see if this gets me one.
