About contributing to Patheos, Brad offers, “I enjoy engaging in conversations that are current, timeless, and meaningful. It’s a joy to add insight and spur thoughtful reflections about issues that matter most.”
He gives this advice to future Patheos contributors: “Write about what interests you. Draw from conversations you have offline and share what you learn with people online. Allow readers to help you process the issues and questions that are most significant to you.”
