God isn't bland. The Church shouldn't be, either.
We’re adding to the team!

“I love it when a plan comes together.” – Hannibal Smith

I am proud to introduce the five folks who will be contributing posts to MediaBLEEP this summer. We feel each have unique perspectives that will greatly benefit the readership.

Your Vote Counts

Ultimately, in addition to Eric and I (and Brad Huss), we’re looking to add TWO new permanent faces to the team. The plan is to have the community vote for their favorite summer guest contributor at the end of July.

    No women, eh?

    Unfortunately, no women submitted interest to be a contributor when we put the word out two weeks ago. We would love women contributors. Are you interested?
