I'm (Dusty Hegge) joined by ADHD coach, Christian Craig, to talk all things ADHD! This is a topic so very near and dear to me, as an ADHDer myself who really believes in beauty and power of self-discipline, the importance of seeking to live an obedient and joyful life - I find the that dialogue in the online space around ADHD tends to lean toward one of two extremes, but usually the truth tends to lie somewhere in the middle. So, in this episode, Christian and I talk about ADHD through a more holistic and grounded lens! It's such a fun conversation.

WE TALK ABOUT:

• Our identity as Christian ADHDers (p.s. It's still found in Christ)
• Unique challenges Christian ADHDers tend to face
• Practical ways to manage and treat ADHD more holistically

I realized recently that I’ve been neglecting my own writing discipline, and it’s affecting more than just my creativity.

Lately, I realized I haven’t been protecting my own writing discipline the way I encourage my clients to. In this episode, I’m sharing the shift I’m making and the four content themes I’m building my work around moving forward: Theology of Calling, Sustainable Structure, Stewarding Influence, and For Fun’s Sake.

If you’re creating content, building an online business, and trying to steward your work faithfully without burning out or losing the joy of it, I hope this framework helps you think through your own message.

In today's dialogue session, Jeremy Jenkins and I (Dusty Hegge) talk about the importance of engaging with people of different faiths, the role of apologetics, and the challenges of navigating social media as a Christian leader.

We spend most of our time discussing the need for discernment in calling, the value of community support, and the significance of vulnerability in building authentic relationships. It's such a fruitful conversation, and I can't wait for you to listen in!

Today I’m joined by Grant Herbel from The Writer's Calling! We have such a fruitful, encouraging conversation about how to use Substack to grow your business, creativity, and community - all for the glory of God and the good of His people.

We talk about writing as a spiritual practice, protecting the practice over perfect consistency, how to promote your writing without feeling yucky about it, and why Substack creates space for genuine connection.

Plus, Grant shares a simple, practical approach to using Substack Notes by repurposing long-form writing, plus encouragement for anyone stuck in perfectionism at the starting line. We also explore calling, identity vs. vocation, and how visibility and sales can be acts of service when rooted in the right heart posture.

It’s such a fun conversation! I hope you love it!
