Show Notes:45: Jeff Medders — Tools for Writing and Avoiding Discouragement

Jeff is the host of the Home Row Podcast, a podcast with writers on writing. It’s one of my favorites and a close companion to the Pastor Writer podcast.

This spring, Jeff will be releasing his third book, Humble Calvinism. He joins me to talk about writing tools and his process for recognizing a book idea, developing the outline, and staying organized.

We also discuss what he calls the “sin of platforming.” Jeff describes the risk of writing to make our own names known. You can read more in his blog post at https://jamedders.com/confessing-the-sin-of-platforming/

Tools we discuss:

  • 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.
