Join My Substack: The Price of a Coffee Per Month

Substack and Coffee
I’ve decided to add Substack to my writing portfolio and I’d love you to come along with me on this one.I have appreciated the support I have received for my blogs over the years, and it’s time for me to supplement this with a paid-subscriber Substack.
This will enable me to offer long-form essays around topical social, political and theological matters, and to do so on a regular, uncluttered basis. It’s become clear that we’re in times of turmoil and change and I want to help God’s people navigate such times with more reflective writing.
What’s the cost? Not much. The price of a coffee (probably a large flat white double shot), per month. Or 70 dollars per annum. I’ll be posting most weeks, so around a dollar-fifty per post. The cost of a Snickers bar really. (Mmmm, coffee and chocolate).
Check out the bright green Substack button at the top right of my website/blogposts. Just click on that and it will take you to Substack and you can sign up.
Keep the Free Blogs Coming Steve!
“Keep the free blog posts coming Steve” I hear you say.
Don’t worry, there will still be plenty of ongoing material on my regular blog, available through the usual channels that you may have signed up, or on my website itself. That will keep going. And just as regularly as it is now.
Can I count on you for your financial support as I begin this task? I believe that we need more orthodox evangelical voices in this space, helping each other navigate the culture, and encouraging each other in gospel work, whether in the church or the public square.
My first subscription Substack – an article on why Tim Keller (and probably you) deliberately misquoted the famous David Foster Wallace commencement address This Is Water, and I’ve linked that Substack article. HERE. The title’s a bit cheeky, but I’ve guess you’ve come to expect that from me. I’d love you to support me for that coffee per month.
