August 1st, 2016
- As you probably know from personal experience, people often scan writing on the web, be it in an article or an email. So it can be helpful to keep paragraphs short and try to make the main points easily scan-able. - Some questions require research, but how can we tell if the resource is trustworthy?

Important Safety Reminder

October 1st, 2015
Please do not put personal identification information in your responses. We deeply appreciate your heart to love on questioners and connect with them, but we also very much want to protect you and your information. We know nothing about questioners other than their email address, IP address, and details they choose to share (which may or may not be true). Feel free to ask questioners about their location and send information about local churches or ministries you may know about, but please do be cognizant of the nature of being an online ministry . . .

Often the questioner's comfort with a certain topic or knowledge level of a certain topic are also apparent from their submission. Please remember to explain . . .

What you're doing matters. . . .
