A regular, well-written blog can do a lot for your site and ministry – from providing helpful resources for growth, to attracting people to your site – even boosting your search engine rankings.

Certainly, there are no shortage of themes and wonderful Gospel promises from Scripture to discuss in a blog, reminding us of God’s faithfulness and fatherly commitment to his children. A series on difficult and frequently misunderstood passages – graciously unfolded – can be another source of ideas for your blog.

Or, you might want to write an “arts and culture” feature that introduces readers to recent books, films, music, and plays that creatively reflect redemption. Like a master artist whose paintings help you see life from a fresh perspective, a regular feature on the arts can reveal God’s beauty and truth in imaginative ways.

In addition, including your own, first-hand life experiences (both struggles and new steps in obedience) not only helps your readers to apply truth and connect personally with your theme, they are also looked highly upon by Google’s new algorithms! And, they’re a great way to keep your blog lively and fresh.

With all this in mind, the following list of 20 blog ideas can help provide that freshness, and spark your creativity when the well may be running a bit dry. (We selected these – with a few modifications – from an even larger list, which can be found here).

Hope it gets your wheels going, and happy writing!

1. Your Favorite People from the Bible (and Christian history)

The Bible is filled with many excellent stories and characters from which any Christian can learn. (That’s part of God’s design in fleshing out his truth!) Create a weekly series where you write about your favorite characters from the Bible or from more recent history, including what you were able to learn from their stories.

2. Your Testimony

Do you have any particular experience where God impacted your life? If so, don’t be shy to write about it. This can be about healing, promotion, being saved from troublesome experiences, etc. You may also choose to end the post by encouraging your audience to share their testimonies in the comment section.

3. How You Struggled with Faith

If you have a personal blog, write about the different times that you have struggled to keep your faith, and how (by grace) you were able to overcome these difficulties. Your audience likely understands the obstacles that can make it difficult to put your faith ahead of many other things, so they will be able to sympathize with this post.

4. Best Devotionals

Create a post where you list your favorite daily devotionals and what makes them unique. Encourage your audience to list any that you may have missed in the comments.

Write a post containing your (or another’s) favorite book, movie, play, or piece of music, including how it helps you (them) see and worship God more deeply. Your post may also include interviews of artists giving an inside look at what inspired them to create.

6. How You Became a Christian
