Reader Survey Results

Way back in April I asked for your feedback. I wanted to get to know my readers better and to figure out how I could be more useful.

I’m grateful for your feedback. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was happy that 68 people responded. Thank you.

The results are in! I’ve summarized them in an infographic below.

You can also download the infographic as a PDF.

Some highlights:

• The majority of my readers are in vocational ministry. This isn’t surprising since I’ve weighted my posts to pastors for the past few years.
• Posts on pastoral ministry, theology, preaching, as well as book reviews seem to be the most popular.
• I felt like I had met my tribe when I read the list of ministry challenges. I can relate. There’s something comforting in knowing that we’re not alone.
• I was also humbled by the number of personal challenges. Again, I felt like I was in good company.

I’m going to use this feedback to shape the direction of this blog and the topics I cover.

As I’ve thought about your feedback and what I hope to accomplish, I’ve summarized where I want to go in a few sentences:

If you’re a Christian leader, and you struggle with navigating the complexities of life and ministry while staying healthy spiritually, emotionally, and relationally, you’ve come to the right place.

My aim: to remind you that you’re not alone, that your ministry matters, and that God uses people just like you. My desire: that you’ll be encouraged to persevere through the challenges of life and ministry.

I’d love to get your feedback on this. Shoot me an email or leave a comment with your thoughts.

Congratulations to Dave Whalstedt and Luke Holmes, winners of the two Amazon gift cards.
