Why we started?
In 2010, Naomi Andrews forwarded an idea at AFLC Youth Ministries, “What if young adults blogged together on their faith and experiences?” Grounded 3.17 was born!
The focus of these seven authors with one goal was not to remove their voices of influence from their current spheres, but to enhance the conversation going on among young adults about four major areas: relational, situational, congregational, and devotional.
It’s no secret that young adults are seeking to understand their opportunities and influence in a changing culture inside and outside the local church. G3.17 was seen as a tool to foster the conversation for healthy conclusions.
Why we ended?
Over 50,000 page views and 750 posts later, AFLC Youth Ministries has concluded that it is time for G3.17 to conclude.
The sunset date will be December 23, 2013.
We draw this blog to a conclusion because it is time to release our authors to pursue other avenues of writing (which some already have) and influence (which all of them have).
The goal of G3.17 was never to create a community, but one has taken shape. We pray that the encouragement and insights here will impact the authors and the 50 plus followers to press forward in their walk with Jesus.
What’s next?
We pray more writing, more encouragement, and more influence by God’s people through God’s Word & God’s Spirit.
Look at this timing as a way to propel all of us forward to other endeavors. G3.17 stretched and filled. It brought mediation on truths and motivation in lives. This blog is a success!
The theme verses reflect this reality: “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
What will you pursue next?
