One of the benefits of living in 2021 is that we have a wide array of digital tools for writing. There is an almost endless number of ways we can capture content. While it’s convenient, it can also be overwhelming.  

On this episode, we’re going old-school and talking about analog tools for writing. It may seem out of touch to be talking about pens, pencils, and notebooks when we have so many great digital tools… but that’s the point. Perhaps those digital tools are sometimes more of a distraction than a help.    

I’ve asked Dr. Don Sanders to share his passion and knowledge for analog writing tools. He is the Director of the Merold Institute of Ministry at Harvester Christian Church in St. Charles, Missouri. He is also a college adjunct professor, an avid U2 fan, and happens to be my older brother. 

Don is probably the most organized person I know, in addition to being a long-time aficionado of analog writing tools. He was kind enough to be the guest mentor for our Daily Writer Community call this past Thursday. I thought it would be fun to share this conversation here on the blog.  

You can connect with Don at The Merold Institute of Ministry, on Facebook, or on LinkedIn.
