It has been a seventeen year run here at this url. I have been blogging since the heyday of the blogosphere starting back in 2005 (different urls). I think it is time to shudder this space. I have just returned from a week of vacation, and after some further reflection and thought (I was already trending this way in my thinking) I have decided it is best to archive this blog. That doesn’t mean I will no longer be writing online, but that my primary writing online will be limited to my Substack account (of the same name, Athanasian Reformed). I have appreciated all of you my readers over the decades, and I look forward to continuing with you over at the Substack. Substack has a better overall community and energy behind it these days. Not only that, WordPress as a hosting platform for blogs has deteriorated over time; it seems that they mostly cater to business websites these days. So, while the going is still good I thought it best to transmigrate myself over the transom to Substack. Please do follow me over there dearest readers. I know some of you already are subscribed to me over there as well; perfect! For those who are not I expect to see you there front and center!
As you have also noticed my output has waned over the last few years. I’m hoping being part of the Substack community well help energize me once again. But we’ll see. I don’t expect that I’ll be posting every day like I once did for years and years. But you never know, the Lord may well urge and motivate me to pick up the writing pace once again. Even so, I expect that I will still be publishing at least two posts a week, on average, at the Substack.
This isn’t a goodbye, au contraire, but a hello at a new habitat for me online. I’ll see you there! https://bobbygrow.substack.com/Β Athanasian Reformed.Β
PS. Another motivation for the move is that even with my very infrequent posting over at my Substack account I still get the same or more views there than I do here. I am imagining that with more cultivation and dedication over at Substack that my readership will pick up rather than wane as it has here. Pax Vobis
Town bands, Records, 8-Track, Cassettes, CDβs, USBβs, Spotify, Apple β¦
move on, move onβ¦
so yeaβ¦
Books, Journals, WordPress,
and yeaβ¦ Substack. Letβs do this. Canβt be old nβ cranky at everything, Trevor. Move on.
Yeah, moving on. WP at least on my end (as far as my control panel and options) is degrading, and has been. Substack is the place to be … at least that’s what all the Millennials are saying.
Bobby,
You’ve had a good run, and have really helped me understand in a fuller way some of the theological underpinnings of ideas in the big world of ideas and in particularly in the global church.
Blessings and I’ll check out the Substack-o-Sphere.
Warmly in Christ,
Russell
Does this mean that you will now charge for your insights?
Russell, thank you for the good words! And I see you already made the move with me over to substack, thank you!
Blessings brother
Hi Steve, no, for the most part I don’t plan on doing that. But maybe at some point down the road with certain posts I might entertain doing that; but only for something that required me extra work (beyond normal) to produce. But generally everything remains free, just as my blog here. But it is nice that people can financially support me through my Substack account, as some already have been doing. Either way, I appreciate all of my readers.
