How Christian Creators Can Change the Online World Together
Four big projects that are helping Christian Content Creators grow spiritually, relationally, and professionally. I'm sure you'll be inspired by one of them!
For months I've been working on ways to build an open, encouraging, and meaningful online family for people on Twitch - and that mission has grown to be far more expansive than I ever imagined as I've met more and more content creators who are longing for community, training, counselling, and mentorship. This is my plan for helping as many people as I can.

4. Self-Care and Well-Being: Ensure balance by acknowledging self-care and personal growth needs.
5. Practical Steps to a Healthier Schedule: Create a manageable weekly plan with practical steps.
Actionable Steps:
1. List All Commitments: Start by listing all your current commitments.
2. Categorize Tasks: Group similar tasks together for better organization.
3. Prioritize: Determine the priority of each task.
4. Allocate Time Slots: Assign specific time slots based on priority.
5. Be Realistic: Schedule based on actual time requirements.
6. Schedule Downtime: Include time for fun, relaxation, and unplanned events.
7. Review and Adjust: Use the schedule and make necessary adjustments.
8. Set Boundaries: Learn to say no to new commitments that don’t align with your priorities.

Most of the time we believe the thoughts that bounce around our heads, thinking that our beliefs, opinions, perspectives, and ideas are right and best. Mature people know that's not true and have realized that we really can't trust our own hearts and minds.
