Finding My Voice

I've had this domain, www.mikegastin.com, for a few years now. I've used it to post personal ramblings, business ideas, family photos, theological and philosophical arguments and devotional musings. Basically, this site has been all over the place.

Recently I tried to focus on marketing. You can find a number of posts here that address marketing issues and that makes sense because that's in line with my business. But here's the problem, I don't get out of bed every morning because of marketing.

Don't get me wrong. I'm good at it and I enjoy it. I like my work, but let's face it. It's work.

I get out of bed every morning because I love my wife and kids and I want to serve Jesus. When it comes to being fulfilled, serving Jesus and living his kingdom on earth is where it's at for me. It gets my blood pumping and it arrests my attention day and night.

With that in mind I've decided to refocus this site on issues pertaining to following Christ and living his kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, here on earth.

I'll still talk biz from time to time, as what we do day in and out in our efforts to feed our families matters to God and it offers unique opportunities to manifest God in a dark world.

If you've been reading this blog because of my marketing posts, thank you. Please stick around! Even if the site is shifting away from its business focus you might find something here that's valuable. If you're not so inclined I'll understand.

I'm going to work on revising the look and feel as well as publishing some new content. Thanks to everyone for your readership. I'm excited about going forward and I hope you are too.
