How Did You Score?
If you desire to grow your influence and become a world-changer, the scorecard can give you direction.
The scorecard might highlight an area in your life that you already know needs attention. Or it might suggest new opportunities you had not thought about.
With the self-awareness this scorecard creates, you are now in a position to understand the possibilities and the path forward—if you desire to change the world.
Do You Need Help Changing the World?
Would you like to have a brave conversation today?
I offer strategy sessions by phone to interested writers. These phone calls are free of charge. We’ll take about 30 minutes and discuss what you’re writing about. We’ll address questions you might have about getting your writing seen.
As I get to know about you and your goals, I can direct you to my relevant learning resources and/or mentoring groups. A mentoring group is a chat-based goal group or discussion group, typically with 10-30 people via Facebook messenger or the Signal messenger app.
If this interests you, please contact me to set up your free strategy phone call. To inquire about a phone call, email me here.
The New Athens Statement
The vision of New Athens is to equip 1000 Christian leaders to be skilled in moral reasoning so that we can create a foundation for cultural reform.
To help identify promising Christian leaders, I created the New Athens Statement. It is a summary of my philosophical commitments. It serves a a rallying point for intellectual allies I might invest in.
