Good Reasons to Blog

Earlier this week, I shared some bad reasons to blog. Some of you asked for some good reasons to blog (which was my intent all along). Here they are:

1. People follow you (for some reason), and you take that seriously.
2. You have something valuable to contribute to your "tribe."
3. You have a good idea that needs some unpacking over time (e.g. Paul Martin's concept of "being ministry").
4. You have a burning desire to connect with people.
5. You genuinely want to make a difference.
6. You're a good writer or want to become one.
7. You have a gift for being transparent in a way that allows people to relate to you.
8. You're humble.

Of course, there are plenty of other good reasons to blog.

What are yours?
