How To Create A Christian Blog For Free

(This post may contain affiliate link. Please see my disclosure policy.)

I have developed a passion for Christian Blogging more than I ever imagined I would. It's something I look forward to each day. To ~~write~~type down my thoughts and put my heart on ~~paper~~ my laptop to share with others just seem like a genius idea to me. Becoming a Christian Writer was not something I would do but I am so happy I followed the leading!

When I reached my fourth year of being a stay at home mom, I picked up my passion for writing again as an outlet. I felt the Lord was leading me to write. One day I heard His voice specifically tell me, "type". This was two years prior! Two years I was typing on my husbands old laptop that was barely working without ever posting anything for anyone to see. It became my electronic journal about my love for God, my prayers, testimonies, and revelations.

One day, while on Pinterest I came across a post about starting a blog. The one post then led me to reading twenty five posts in one night about starting a blog. I was hooked to the thought but not yet convinced it was for me. Who would read? How do I get readers? What if somebody didn't like it? Who am I to write for the public eye? Lastly, what if I started it but didn't follow through? All these questions and much more.

First things first;

I went back to the question; would I follow through?

Asking myself what I would write about was not an challenge for me. I knew it would be about my faith. All the blogging posts I read made their journeys and experiences look simple but what if it wouldn't be for me? I didn't know anything about computers, technology, or social media. I didn't even have a Facebook account.

Then I read a scary fact from one successful blogger that changed my whole perceptive. She stated that 85% of bloggers fail within their first year.

That is huge! How many of them were faith based? How many truly had the desire to spread the gospel but for what ever reason they stopped? And most importantly, how many of them stopped writing the words God was giving them due to discouragement?

As I searched daily in my niche of blogging. (Faith, Christianity, raising godly children, Christian marriages, and ministry), I saw that there are many upon many amazing bloggers out there using the Word of God to speak to people's hearts, homes, and spiritual lives.

But personally I still can not stop thinking about the 85% that failed and how many were faith based.

The Word of God is to travel through. We need more bloggers to spread the gospel. I know many of you may think if there are so many faithful bloggers out there already then why and how would I make a difference?

It's discipleship.

Hopefully this post begins to trigger a passion in you and this can be a beginning of something new. I am not saying everyone is a blogger!

The truth is, it is hard work, it needs a lot of attention, consistency, and involves a lot of behind the scenes preparation. By spreading His word, you must know His word and that means daily time with God first. But know this….its rewarding and beneficial to your growth for yourself and with Him, our Father.

What to Blog about…

If you do have a desire to starting a blog to spread His Word as we of disciples of Christ should, but do not know what to write about specifically, here are just a few ideas in the Christian niche that can definitely speak to people:

Bible Studies:

If you are someone that is a natural teacher and studies His word consistently, take your readers on a journey through your bible studies.

Testimonies:

There are amazing testimonies out there to be told, for the very reason of this; "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies. Revelations 12:11″. Telling your testimony brings victories. Out of all the Christian based blogs I have read so far, I can say its rare that I read blogs that tells the in depth part of their testimonies. Its encouraging to the soul.

Music:

Write about Christian music that you like and listen to or the importance of worship.

Ministry:

Write about your youth group, young adult group. Offer bible study material, group night activities ideas, or books to use for groups. Its much needed!

P astoral Ministry:

There has been a recent statistic posted that businesses that have a blog on their website receives 75% more traffic than a website that does not have a blog. If you are a Pastor or minister with a church that provides a website, I highly encourage you to create a tab on your site with a weekly blog about the vision of your church, bible studies, etc.. Recently the church I attend with my family started a blog and as a congregant I am so blessed to see it touching many souls whether the reader attends our church or not.

Christian Mom Blog:

Write about raising your children to serve God. This topic is very much appreciated out there. Moms encouraging others moms to raise their children to pray, serve, and worship is an amazing way to spread the gospel. One thing I recommend is to write about the season and age group you are experiencing right now. If you have toddlers, write content referring to their age. If you have teens or adult children, then try to stick to that age group. I say this, because readers of blogs generally look for writers they can relate to and experience seasons with.

Christian Dating:

Encourage others that are single or learning how to date with Christianity views. So many young adults and even older generations desire to hear they are not alone in this world that does not include God in dating. Remind them that there are people out there with Gods vision for what dating should be.

Marriage:

Ahhh……the beauty of a Christian marriage is always a sweet surprise to come across on the internet. So much area and ground work to cover on this one topic.

Serving the Community:

The bible speaks quite often about serving others. Being humble and a servant is who God desires us to be. There are many of you serving your community, creating missionary work, food box ministries, and so much more. Write about it! Write the importance of serving the community! Express the reward of it all! Be a blessing to the body of Christ by showing the good works of His people.

Homeschooling:

There are actually a good amount of blogs on this topic out there but one thing I have noticed about homeschooling bloggers is that they have created a strong community. They truly support one another and have created so many groups to do so. There are numerous groups on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook of moms that homeschool their children so they can also include bible teachings into their children's curriculum. This community encourage more parents to homeschool if they are capable to do so and to share ideas with one another. So do not feel like there are enough bloggers on this topic. There could never be enough moms encouraging moms to raise their children for the good of His purpose.

No matter what topic you choose in the Christian genre know that there is not too many people already doing it. There is never too many people spreading the gospel through their niche.

Plus, think of how many people are constantly on the internet searching for information. It is 500+ times more than there are bloggers writing. The internet is so big that even your neighbor probably hasn't even heard of the same bloggers you have been following for years.

People follow bloggers that they think are so big, everyone must know them! Not true. True story here is that me and my sister are constantly surprised that we are not following the same bloggers as each other, especially since we follow the same genre. I'm always telling her, how do you not know about her, she is huge in the blogging community.! Truth is, the blogger may be huge for their niche but there are many people and platforms that share blogger sites more than there actually are bloggers which makes more successful bloggers.

If Blogging for Christ is something that you may be interested in but not sure how. Sign up for the mailing list so you can receive updates on this topic. I will be sharing more ideas, how to start, and much more about the Christian Blogging Community.
