The other night, I couldn’t sleep. Ever have one of those nights? A lot of thoughts and ideas were running through my mind. I couldn’t get my brain to shut off. I tried. And I tried some more. Nothing worked. My brain was revved up with nowhere to go. So at 2:16 am, two hours before I normally wake up, I decide to quit tossing and turning and get up.
Mixed in with a dreamy concoction of concerns about work, my mom, and life in general, was the idea that fellow Christian bloggers needed to form a network to support each other’s blogs.
Recently, through conversations with several fellow Christian bloggers, God made it clear to me that growing the community of Christian bloggers is something worth pursuing.
Blogging is hard. It’s harder when you do it alone. This is exponentially more true for niche bloggers and even more true for bloggers of the Christian faith.
We need a Christian Blogger Support Network to encourage one another, to share ideas, to provide guest post opportunities, and to help promote each other’s blogs. One way we can do that is to build a stronger blogging community for fellow Christian bloggers.
I think it requires interacting with each other’s blogs. It would also demand that we respect some of our theological and doctrinal differences. That can be tricky. But, I believe it is doable.
What say you? Want to give it a try?
What are Some of Your Favorite Christian Blogs?

Let’s support one another by helping get the word out about each other’s blogs. Blogging is hard. Community makes it easier.

I like your inspirational ideas Rainer! There are already groups/websites like this available, one of which is https://christianbloggernetwork.com/10-habits-of-the-most-successful-bloggers-2/
I saw a post on Google recently about blog linking which caught my attention, but it needed some research. I think that we and our brethren on WordPress do a good job in supporting one another, but you are right in pointing out we could do more to spread the Word. My concern about such services as the example I share above that they become exclusive clubs where Christians hang out, and the Good News doesn’t reach the lost. I will happily do my bit by including a post soon of bloggers I recommend, the first of many posts. Finally, I would invite you to consider submitting a guest post to my Lord’s Day guest slot. God bless you and your lovely wife brother.

Thank you for the mention, Rainer! I think I told you this, but your blog was a template for me to follow when I started my site three years ago. There are a few bloggers on your list that I don’t follow. I will check out these folks in the near future. One guy I really enjoy is Chris Hendrix of Devotions by Chris. He is a Christian corporate trainer and student of leadership who always puts out great content. Blessings, my brother!

Wow Rainer! I am quite humbled to find my blog listed as among your favorites. Your advice and tips have had a significant impact on the way I approach blogging both as a writer and as a reader. When I began this journey 2 years ago, I was doing it to make my lessons more accessible to people Adi and I meet in our walk through life. I never expected to find such an incredible community of writers, photographers, and crafters who have encouraged and inspired me. Even more importantly I never realized how blogging would connect me to my brothers and sisters in Christ across the nation and around the world. What a privilege it is to pray for them.

Katherine, first thank you for reading, commenting, and following my blog, The Devotional Guy™. Since publishing this post, I’ve been told there are a number of groups and sites that already exist to help promote Christian blogs. My desire is to encourage each other to do exactly what you did today as well as telling others about the Christian blogs we read and enjoy. This, hopefully, will help grow our community. Thank you so much for engaging today. It means the world to me. Blessings.
