Where's the Good Stuff this week?
Friday 10/10/25 roundup of what I've discovered on Substack
‘Good Stuff’ = blog posts I’ve read this week that inspired, educated, entertained, or moved me.
I subscribe to about 250 newsletters on Substack!!
I’m not saying I read that many, but if your writing shows up in my inbox, it gets at least a scan from me.
And I can’t help sharing the best of what I’m reading with you, too.
This week the readings have a theme - I swear I didn’t do this on purpose - which is that a lot of them are about running. And about how running is about more than running…
Here’s this week’s roundup:
God stuff
‘Faith is Transformational, Not Transactional’ by Jake Owensby. 10 lepers were healed. One said thank you. ‘What differentiates this one leper from the other nine is that he returned to Jesus’.
‘Sermon: Community of Faith’ by Tripp Hudgins. By facing it all we will come to have faith. And maybe through that faith we would find a way through the challenges we all faced together.
Church stuff
‘No One Is Coming to Save Your Church’ by Loren Richmond Jr. ‘Renewal depends on your willingness to respond to the Spirit already at work in your midst.’
‘Sermon on the Run’ by Jim Keat. Incredibly impressive organization and coordination!
Other stuff
‘Run, Forrest, Run’ by Sean Dietrich. Running as the antidote to grief.
‘I am an old woman’ by Samantha Hoffman. Keep moving - keep celebrating - even as you get older.
I wrote one thing this week:
‘The ancient wisdom we forgot’. Praying shapes believing.
And finally…
Thank you!
Loved the transformation/transaction take.
