The Heath Mullikin Project

I recently shared why I haven’t been blogging consistently.  I have been reading voraciously lately(on my new Kindle) as I strive to lead Oakway Wesleyan forward.  Also, this summer I will begin ministering at Common Ground Community Church which is 9 miles from Oakway.  I will be preaching at both locations every Sunday starting in late July.  The books I’ve been reading from Nelson Searcy(like Fusion: Turning First-Time Guests into Fully-Engaged Members of Your Church) have been invaluable.  I’ve also been listening his his podcast.  I am really trying to invest a lot in my relationship with God and develop my skills as a speaker and pastor.  Another book that has influenced me is The Millionaire Messenger.  I really believe that there is money to be made online and blogging is a great way for someone to have influence and pay the bills.

I am constantly learning more and more about blogging and online marketing.  I know I’ve only scratched the surface of what I can accomplish.  I am amazed at how many people want to start blogging, but have no idea where to start or they don’t realize the full potential that blogging has to provide a platform and side income.  I am committed to:

Helping people Discover and Use their Unique Voice through blogging.

Sometimes the hardest part is getting started because people are clueless about web hosting, blogging software, affiliate marketing, social media, etc.  Soon, I will be offering people the opportunity to remove that roadblock from their path.  What if someone set it all up for you?

Being a part of the Techology Show has given me the podcasting bug.  I found the Podcast Answer Man and his advice has only challenged and encouraged me more.  So, my goal is to launch two podcasts by the end of the month.  They will be weekly and the Chase Your Lion podcast will focus on helping people discover their Purpose, Passion, and Possibilities.  Over on the newly revamped Heath Mullikin dot com, the podcast will focus on pastoring in a small town while the blog will focus on…a little bit of everything.  I think I’ve got something to bring to the table when it comes to bringing BIG ideas to smaller communities.

I recently was adding up a lot of time wasters in my life.  It was convicting.  Yes, I am committing that wasted time and energy to pursue God’s calling in these areas and continue running in 5k’s when the opportunity arises.  I actually ran a mile without stopping this morning which was a HUGE milestone for me.  What good is it to seek to be used greatly by God is you’re not healthy enough to sustain it?  What good is it to be healthy if you’re wasting you life away?

I think what I’m trying to say is:  Come join the adventure.
