Share Your Voice on Drunk Pastor:
Guest Post Guidelines
Are you passionate about exploring Christianity, deconstruction, spirituality, the Bible, recovery, theology, psychology, philosophy, or Jesus? Drunk Pastor is a space for authentic conversations that transcend labels and assumptions. Here, we seek to reflect the deeper, bigger, simpler vision of Jesus – one rooted in Truth and Love.
The calling is for diverse voices across the spiritual spectrum. This isn’t about conservatism versus liberalism, or side-taking in general. It’s about asking the hard questions, engaging authentically, and encouraging others on their journey. I especially welcome pastors and ministers.
Guest Post Requirements
For guest posts to be accepted, they need to meet the following:
- Length: At least 1,200 – 2,000 words.
- Quotes: Include 1-2 quality quotes.
- Links: Up to 1-2 backlinks (subject to approval).
- Tone: Written for a high school reading level or above. Informative, thoughtful, and real.
- Formatting: Use accurate headers every few paragraphs and incorporate bold or italic text of key phrases and important terms in every paragraph for emphasis.
- Visuals: Include a few original photos (at least one profile photo and one HD image for the Featured Image).
- AI: AI is allowed for research, editing, and drafting concepts. However, all content must originate from and then be developed, edited, and finalized by the author. Specify if and how you used AI for your post.
- Author Bio: Provide a short paragraph about yourself (and a link to your website and/or social media).
What I Look For
I don’t use a doctrinal statement to qualify submissions (where I’m at currently, with several subjects, can be found on the “Statement of Faith” page). Instead, I value posts that:
- Engage with logic and truth: Present ideas that are thoughtfully reasoned.
- Honor humanity: Recognize the complexity and beauty of the human experience.
- Interact with Scripture: Authentically interacts with Biblical texts, specifically when asking hard questions and highlighting the promises within.
You don’t have to agree with me or anyone else; I welcome diverse perspectives. Posts should challenge, encourage, or provoke deeper thinking and being. If your post raises questions and engages authentically with the topic, it will be considered.
Sponsored Posts
Sponsored content is considered on a case-by-case basis. It can include guest blog posts, social media mentions, or newsletter inclusions. Sponsored media will always be clearly designated as such, ensuring transparency. The most important factor is alignment with the vision and values of Drunk Pastor.
