Introducing aaronarmstrong.co

I started my first writing website back in 2009. I had been a Christian for just shy of four years at the time, and full of all kinds of ideas and opinions. Some of them were even helpful.

When I started, I was just trying to do two things: to learn to write well, and to process what I was reading in the Bible and other books. I was working as a marketing copywriter at a non-profit in Canada. I had no real aspirations to publish, speak, or do anything else. I was just writing, and people started reading.

Eventually, more writing opportunities came. Friendships and partnerships started to form. I got to hang out with some folks at different conferences. I was invited to come to Nashville to be a part of a product launch event. A book came along, followed by another. Then a documentary followed by another. Then a podcast and more books and a video series…

And now, nearly 13 years after I published my first blog post, I’m starting over again.

Why a new website?

So why start over? As my life has changed, I found that having a website that is first and foremost a blog doesn’t make sense. So the blog still remains as part of the site, but the new site is more of a proper home base for everything I do as an author, speaker, podcaster, and whatever else may come along.

So you’ll find all my books together in one easy place. You’ll find an up-to-date bio that includes some of my personal history in the faith (and a couple other things will be added in the near future). For those interested in having me speak at their church or event, a new speaker page is available.

Why are some articles gone?

I spent a significant amount of time this year going through and cleaning up content on the old site. In the end, I removed about 2700 posts. Most of it is material you wouldn’t care about. For the most part, I got rid of posts that were no longer relevant, either because they were time-specific or they relate to individuals I would no longer affirm. A few posts were ones that I’ll revisit and republish at a later time.

What can you expect going forward?

Every week I’ll be posting a new article on the blog. These articles will include reflections on Scripture and ministry, as well as personal and professional updates. A podcast is going to be starting soon as well. Whenever new books are ready for pre-order, you’ll see them highlighted on the home page, of course.

But at the end of the day, here’s what to expect: I’m still writing, and I’m going to keep writing until I have nothing more to say.

Hopefully you will still be reading.
