As I indicated in the last post, I have recently finished a rough draft of a book I call Further Up, Further In, which is an invitation to move out of the shallows and into the deeper waters of our faith, to pursue a deeper walk with Christ. It’s an area of personal passion, and in some ways a culmination of much of my life’s work.
I also suggested that I had a corollary project that I’ve been working on, and I’ll speak more to that here. I have been thinking for some time that I want to start a podcast on this same topic. To that end, I have purchased some equipment with which to get started, and I’m beginning to tinker with it. There will be a learning curve for both the recording and the editing of the podcast, and I’ll want to have several episodes finished and confidence I can keep producing them on a schedule before I post any of them, but I’m excited to have begun that work.
I don’t have a hard and fast timeline for this. Even just this weekend as I’ve played around with the editing software, I feel much more comfortable with it. I’m a long way from being able to make something I’d release publicly, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Aside from the technical aspects, which aren’t necessarily a strength of mine, podcasting plays into my skillset. Words have always been a medium in which I felt comfortable working, whether written or spoken. I will need to figure out my work process, though, as in how detailed my outlines/scripts are per episode, and so forth. Likely, it’ll change as I go and grow as a podcaster.
I can’t say I enjoy listening to myself on playback, but not many people enjoy that part. It’s weird hearing my voice that way. It just is. Even so, I’m pretty determined to give this a shot, and I’ll try to post here from time to time to let those who might be interested in what I’m doing know how it is going.
I am really glad to see that you are still writing. And I will look forward to your new book. But there was another new book that you were working on. What ever happened to The Elder Star? Thanks.
