Why Substack Might Be the Best Thing That’s Happened to Christian Writers
Since Coffee
Welcome friend,
I’m Mark, and this space is for the wanderers, the worn out, and the ones still wrestling with God at 2 a.m. I don’t have all the answers, but I know the One who does—and I’m learning to trust Him more.

Let’s be honest.
Most social media feels like standing on a street corner in Vegas holding a Bible and trying not to look at the billboards. One minute you're scrolling for encouragement, the next minute—bam!—someone’s half-naked and you're like, Lord, take the wheel.
That’s why I think Substack is kind of amazing. It’s the one place online where Christian writers can show up, speak truth, and not feel like they need to rinse their brain out afterward.
1. You Don’t Have to Sell Your Soul (Or Dance for Likes)
Substack doesn’t need you to go viral. You don’t need to learn the latest TikTok dance or slap a filter on your face while whispering Bible verses in a candlelit room.
You can just write. Real thoughts. Real testimony. Real Scripture. And it goes straight to someone’s inbox like a warm letter in a cold world.
2. Substack Doesn’t Allow Nudity (Praise God)
Yes, seriously. No more scrolling past someone’s “empowerment” photoshoot while you're trying to find a devotional.
And if you're worried about what content might show up? You can turn on content filters in your settings and keep your experience clean.
That’s not just refreshing—it’s holy ground in the digital desert.
3. No Algorithms Playing God
Most platforms decide who gets seen. One day you’re “shadowbanned,” the next day your post from 2021 suddenly shows up again with zero context.
Substack skips all that. It’s direct. People subscribe, and your words go straight to them. No weird math deciding if your message is “relevant.”
You’re not preaching to the algorithm. You’re preaching to people.
4. You Can Build Without Compromise
Let’s talk money. Some platforms say, “Sure, you can make a living here—just run ads for stuff you don’t believe in and say yes to every brand deal.”
Substack says, “If people value what you’re writing, let them support it.”
It’s biblical, honestly. A laborer is worthy of his wages (1 Timothy 5:18). You’re not begging for scraps—you’re building a tent like Paul.
5. You’re Shepherding, Not Just Posting
You’re not just throwing content into the void. You’re leading. Discipling. Encouraging. Teaching.
Your words might be the first time someone reads about Jesus outside a church. And on Substack, you can build that community—reply to comments, pray for people, share testimonies—without the noise of social media echo chambers.
Conclusion
Substack isn’t perfect. But for Christian writers who are tired of the noise, the nudity, the nonsense, and the never-ending pressure to perform—this might be the answer to your prayer.
It’s simple. It’s sacred. And it lets the Word speak loud and clear.
Call to Repentance:
If you’ve been trying to earn your way into heaven, it’s time to stop striving and start surrendering. Today can be the day everything changes. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:2, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Don’t wait for a better moment. Turn from your sin, believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, and receive the gift of eternal life. He is calling—respond to Him today.
Call to Action:
If this message spoke to your heart, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone you love—and make sure to subscribe so you never miss more biblical truth, encouragement, and hope. Let’s walk this journey of faith together.
