“Much easier to become an enjoyer of theological nuance or a discusser of ecclesiastic history than a disciple.”
And
“The obsession with flash and polish is killing our creativity and growth. If you would rather sit in coffeeshops and consume Writing Advice than grind out drafts, you are not yet an author.”
Yes, begin and push through the thicket with determination. What’s helping me is to allow myself to not demand perfection, but instead to begin. At least that.

That exactly what I come here to Read. Banger article! I also find that video courses are inferior to a good book. With carpentry or programming, a video might be fine but if you understand the underlying principles of the things you want to make, I don't think you'd need a video or maybe one picture would be all that you need. There is a fine line between trial and error and reinventing the wheel.
Two points that really resonated with me here:
“Much easier to become an enjoyer of theological nuance or a discusser of ecclesiastic history than a disciple.”

“The obsession with flash and polish is killing our creativity and growth. If you would rather sit in coffeeshops and consume Writing Advice than grind out drafts, you are not yet an author.”
Both convicting and inspiring. Thanks!
