Shawn said this about contributing to Patheos, “There is news mentioning the Body of Christ every day. From community outreach to global missions, public scandals or private questions, headlines abound. Most of that news is objective, as it should be. But how do those stories affect the Body of Christ? That’s the premise of my column, a focus on those headlines hitting “close to home.” I have the privilege of using my years of working with the media and writing with the lens of a student of God’s Word to compose a weekly subjective report on those articles. My prayer is these posts open minds and hearts to the work of God and His people.”
When asked what advice he would offer to Patheos contributors, Shawn said, “Stay curious! Patheos is home to numerous compelling vantage points on religion, specifically Christianity. Each author has a unique perspective on what they notice on their journey with Christ. When any believer stops being curious about the world around them and the Spirit within them, their walk slows to a hobble. These authors are called for this purpose–to share their point of view with the world. Keep that call worthwhile and stay curious about what you learn on your walk. Your subscribers, readers, and fans will be thankful and potentially changed forever.”
