I did find this very cool blog with lots of encouraging statistics about my audience. My audience is for the most part NOT hostile toward studying the bible and learning about God's word. In fact, they are thirsting for this knowledge. They will not come to us ... we have to come to them where they hang out - on the computer.

The christian extreme sport blogs I found had scripture on the page somewhere but didn't use an extreme sport story or metaphor to deepen their understanding of its meaning.

I did finally find a website that offers free on-line bible studies that is somewhat interesting. Well, interesting until you watch the videos. 99% of such sites are amazing in content but extremely lame in the approach. I would rank this one good in content and good in approach. The statistics of the twenty somethings that are unchurched is staggering.

I studied both xtreme sports blogs as well as Christian xtreme sports blogs. I noticed xtreme sports bloggers are flaky and not consistent. There are three basic types of xtreme sport blogs (1) informative (like bike repair) and (2) documentary of adventures (3) sales of DVD's and books. I couldn't find a Christian xtreme sport blog that integrated God's word in the mix. So, there you have it - a refined niche.

I am reluctant to promote my blog just yet. My website where my blog is attached is not in its final form and the free on-line bible studies not yet available for download. In the next two months this will all change and I will certainly use a blog as a major way to draw people to the site.

I am so thankful for the ability to be a part of this learning process. I can FULLY see the benefit of promoting an informative and encouraging blog entry as a means to draw in followers. ____THANKS

Sweet. Thanks Stuart. Oopps. I thought I was just supposed to answer the three questions. Okay, let me try again ... BTW, I'm one of those beginner bloggers and writers for that matter.

Dude. You should totally tune in to my blog to check out what God's word says about dropping in to the steep and deep. And for that matter you'll probably want to check it out each week because who knows which extreme sport God wants use to speak to you.

It probably won't be BMX or kayaking because I can't relate but rock climbing, dirt biking, surfing, kiteboarding, back country snowboarding, telemark skiing, skateboarding all of these are fair game. And if you consider golf extreme, there might be a few blog entries on that too.

My name is Edy Sutherland. My blog is called livinginextremeways, which can be found at my websitewww.livinginextremeways.com the direct URL ishttp://livinginextremeways.com/index.php?p=1_6_Bl...

Living in Extreme Ways is a ministry designed to disciple new believers by providing free on-line bible studies. The focus of the discipleship material is to use extreme sport object-lessons to help the reader reach a deeper understanding of God’s word. The blog is specifically intended to provide a type of weekly devotional for this audience.

The audience this blog is intended for are current extreme sport athletes that follow Christ in addition to those athletes seeking answers about God. In addition, I intend for this blog to reach the subculture of extreme athletes that do not yet follow Christ.

Each week the blog will address a current event or topic within an area of extreme sports. For example, this week I am blogging about an extreme rock climber that free solos and base jumps. She posted a video biography of herself on vimeo this past week. I am commenting on her pronouncement that she is ‘So in Control.’
