Christian Book Publishing Demystified

As I inch toward achieving the goal of releasing my men’s ministry book, Warrior Disciple, I’ve dived into seeing what the best way of publishing it is. Book publishing, even from a Christian perspective, is a big, daunting world to explore, and here’s what I’ve learned so far. The Big Picture Ever wondered how Christian books make it to the shelves? Let’s demystify the process and take a stroll through the world of Christian publishing, a small but significant part…

Warrior Disciple Book Update

Here’s a brief update on my forthcoming men’s ministry book, Warrior Disciple. I’ve spent much time in prayer, consultation with several other Christian author friends, deliberation, and consideration, all in trying to figure out how to get published within a reasonable amount of time and to be able to maintain enough creative control to be able to get the product that men’s ministries need. I was faced with three major avenues of publishing. One, I could strive to get a…

Build Your Own Bible: What is My “Dream Bible”?

BYOB: Build Your Own Bible! Here’s a cool little exercise: if you could put together your “dream Bible”, what would it look like? Think hard and see what you would consider to be the “ultimate,” all-purpose, everyday Bible for you. Do you have a preferred translation, features, or look and feel for what best suits you? If you had absolute total control over all of the different publishing houses like Zondervan, Crossway, Thomas Nelson, and others, and get them to…

Listen to My Interview On the Dad Devotionals Podcast

I recently had the honor and privilege of being a guest on the Dad Devotionals Podcast. Hosted by David Domzalski, Dad Devotionals is a show for Christian fathers and husbands who want advice to win the race to Christ, with discussion on how to be the men God called us to be. David and I chatted about topics such as what I think is holding men back from living a life in Christ; the importance of fellowship; my experience running…

How I Cut Out Carbs and Got Rid of My Heartburn and Acid Reflux COMPLETELY

This Is How I Cut Out Carbs From My Diet and Got Rid of Heartburn and Acid Reflux COMPLETELY Anyone who is plagued with acid reflux or GERD knows how massively miserable heartburn can be. Of course, most humans can be susceptible to heartburn. Yet when it’s chronic and frequent, it is a (pun intended) gut-wrenching pain that’s often hard to ignore. How It Began Many members of my Dad’s side of the family have been afflicted with the agony…

Scott’s Newest Writing Project

  Hey, where has Scott been lately?” A few of you may have been wondering the above interrogative. Rest assured, I have not dropped off the map. In fact, the metaphorical map may be growing by leaps and bounds. In the past six months, many people have seen their COVID-19-inflicted semi-lockdown as a bringer of hours of freed-up time, with some lamentably scurrying for new hobbies and (gag) new Netflix series on which to binge. For me, the bulk of…

Interview With John Clark and Michael Bodine of Soulcon Ministries | Soulcon Operator Book Released!

Soulcon Ministries is a digital men’s ministry that encourages Christian men to abandon the watered-down confines of lukewarm faith and instead go all-in for Jesus Christ physically, mentally and spiritually. Soulcon was founded by US Navy veteran-turned fitness expert and personal trainer Cody Bobay after he saw the “couch potato” lives that your average, 21st Century guys – yes, even most evangelical men – practice on a regular basis in every area of their lives. To help encourage men to get…

Back to the Guitar: My 6-String History and Journey Back to Playing, Part 2

For those of you following along in this tale, here’s where we last let off: Married with two young children, I sold off all of my beloved guitar gear to stay afloat financially. The Van Halen-themed and guitar-oriented websites were decimated off of the interwebs. And my dream of ever making it professionally as a musician had sailed away almost a decade earlier. The practice of me performing music was personally dead, yet somewhere deep down in the recesses of…

Back to the Guitar: My 6-String History and Journey Back to Playing, Part 1

The topic of the following piece isn’t appropriately suited for my hot sauce blog, scottrobertsweb.com, and also it may not technically fit snuggly into the Christian author-oriented essaying of this site, scottroberts.org; but I’ll stick it on here because, well, I make the rules concerning what appears and what doesn’t, and you don’t. Ha! As the title of this post clearly spells out, I’m referring to playing my favorite musical instrument in the world: the guitar. History of Me and…

Why I Won’t Drink Alcohol Anymore

What I’m about to say is full of my own opinions, along with my attempt at well-thought-out reasons why I do not drink alcoholic beverages. Except for point #6, these points are not presented or implied that they are Christian doctrine or theology. Instead, they’re mainly personal arguments about why I have no desire to touch the stuff. I wish to make a few important disclaimers before I start things off: A. Some people have natural inclinations towards becoming addicted…

A New Undertaking in Writing…and a New Beginning

Even though it doesn’t seem that long, I’ve been doing blogging for an entire decade, and then some. This whole adventure started with a general-purpose platform for my silly writing excursions on my “main” website of scottrobertsweb.com. You see, around 2006 and 2007, I, being a website designer, whipped together a rudimentary content management system (for you non-techies, I’m referring software such as WordPress that runs on the back-end). I hardly knew what the topic theme was, so basically winged…

My Visit to the Taco Bell Test Kitchen and Volcano Menu Review

This week I was fortunate enough to be asked by Taco Bell (along with several other national food bloggers and writers) to get an in-depth look at the company’s expanding Volcano Menu, which features the delicious new Lava Sauce. Taco bell flew me out to their corporate headquarters in Irvine, California to visit their Test Kitchen and talk to the food innovators who created the Volcano line, sample the spicy wares, and even create my own custom menu item. A…
