Show Notes:23. Chris Martin — Thinking About Platform and Social Media

The most frequent question I get from aspiring authors is about platform. Every author knows they are supposed to be building one, but most of us struggle with walking the tightrope of self-denial and self-promotion.

Chris Martin works with some of LifeWays most well-known authors to engage their audiences online. He has spent time wrestling with all the temptations of platform. He joins me to discuss social media and how Christians should think of platform.

  • Domes, pastries, paintings and our last day in Paris.
  • Germany was great. And I do love Paris.
  • Come all the way to Germany and found out my friend @karlvaters was speaking to German pastors twenty minutes away. The world is small.
  • Ashley and I are spending the week in Germany doing work with The Warriors Journey. TWJ is doing amazing work with the military community stationed here.
  • There have been intense negotiations in my house about getting a new dog. I have been arguing that we wait till summer… so we got one in last week. Charlotte got Lucy for her seventh birthday this weekend.
  • Couldn’t help digging through the folder of the letters with Ernest Hemingway. One that he wrote from Paris in the 20s and the other from Cuba in the 50s. Both are the original copies.
  • Caught the train to New Haven to spend the day digging through their archive of Dead Sea Scroll papers.
