Editor's Note: Back to the Plow

Hi friends,

We have been quiet for a few months, and I want to tell you why.

Personally, this has been a tough year. I have experienced multiple losses, literally every single month this year. Today, I'm St. Louis with family as we said goodbye to another cousin just yesterday. It has been a very weighty, grief filled year, and there were seasons when I did not have much to give.

But I know that God is close to the brokenhearted.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

He has been close to me. And I could not let this year continue on without us getting back to the plow.

The Word says it plainly:

"Jesus replied, 'No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'" Luke 9:62 (NIV)

We want to always be fit. So we are going back to work.

What Is Happening Now

We are going back to publishing features. Our contributors are back at work, and the stories are coming.

Check out two good reads from contributors Sheryl Landry-Grant and La’Sha Wright. Both went live this week with more on the way.

We are also looking for more contributors who want bylines. And if you live in a major city like Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, or New York, we want to hear from you. We are extending invitations to cover events as official media for the magazine.

We are also looking to build a team. If you want to be part of a bootstrap team that is starting on the ground level, this is your opportunity. Our idea is to be the Christian platform for business owners, entrepreneurs, thinkers, movers, shakers, creators, and innovators. We are building that now, and we would love to build it with you.

To contribute, cover events, or join the team, email contribute@savedpreneur.com or send us a DM.

Thank You

To everyone who has been praying for me and keeping me in your prayers, thank you. I felt every one of them.

This year has been heavy. But heavy does not mean finished. Our hands are back on the plow, and we are not looking back.

Thank you for being here.
