I also share practical lessons I’ve learned along the way—from keeping episodes short, to finding a sustainable rhythm, to using podcast episodes as long-term resources for your audience.If you’ve ever wondered whether starting a podcast could help you serve your audience and grow your platform, this episode will help you think it through with clarity and confidence.The Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.
