I feel like this mantra presents one brushed up perfect looking aspect in itself I would gently like to push back on. - 150 uploads since the first uploaded sermon in fact part of reaching 100K was not always meeting "no weeks off" with respect to a particular kind of content. There is a balance with burnout (as owned by the article) to walk there I have felt important between reliable presence and the damage that can be done by turning this mindset from Intentionality into a toxic hustle. Just feels worth calling out, else as a lay member I have in the past had to be rocked by news of the cost and concealed struggle such a "cross to bear" may have. Doesn't invalidate the points above, but it's worth owning the two realities need to be held in tension and in tandem.

Dare I suggest that there is no such thing as a perfect posting algorithm either? Even the infallible Brady can be imperfect. 😉

Thank you for this reminder. Such a good way of thinking about faithful presence. I was watching Lazarus this week (ep 6 I think) and thought briefly about posting something on the interesting conversation they presented about AI and God. This feels like the encouragement I needed to start showing up more.

I think what I get more overwhelmed with sometimes is "where" when there are so many spaces to show up.
