Old Paths New Roads is the kind of writing that quietly draws you closer to Jesus without ever feeling forced. Pastor Rich has a rare gift—he preaches the Gospel without preaching. His words are tender, humble, and beautifully crafted, and somehow they leave you wanting more of Christ every time. If you’re looking for a space where truth is spoken with grace and depth, his writing is a well worth returning to again and again.
If you want a space filled with faith, warmth, and everyday wonder, follow @theponderingscottie. She writes with honesty about Jesus, family, nature, and the moments that shape us. Her stories feel like a conversation with a friend who points you back to God’s goodness again and again. You’ll leave her space encouraged and reminded that beauty is woven into the ordinary.
Paul's writing is a bright light in a dark world. His words carry warmth, wisdom, and the steady kindness of a true shepherd's heart. Every post feels like a conversation with a friend who reminds you that hope still wins. His Substack is one worth reading.
A Holy Ache is one of those rare places on Substack where words feel like worship. Mandy writes with a poetic honesty that reaches straight into the deep places of the soul. Her reflections carry both beauty and reverence, pointing again and again to the Holiest of Holies with language that feels tender, true, and weighty. If you’re longing for writing that stirs your spirit and awakens a deeper awareness of God’s presence, Mandy’s work is a gift worth receiving.
I want to introduce you to a writer whose gentleness somehow carries the strength of someone who has walked through fire with Jesus. Her words are practical, hope-filled, and steadying in the best way.
Jamie Janosz writes with deep faith, quiet joy, and a sacred attentiveness to everyday life. Once my professor, now my dear friend, she helped shape my love for writing. As managing editor of Today in the Word, she faithfully guides readers into God’s Word. You will love her thoughtful, grounded, and beautifully written posts. Enjoy!
The Old Grey Thinker is one of my favorite voices on Substack. His writing is sharp, honest, and refreshingly human. He doesn’t shy away from the realities of aging in a culture that often treats anyone over 55 as past their prime. Instead, he names it with clarity, humor, and wisdom—and in doing so, he gives language and dignity to an experience many feel but rarely say out loud.
