Authenticity cannot be faked.
We will never tell your story better than you.

No matter how well we write, our perspective will always miss something if we’ve never walked in your shoes. That’s why the more voices on The Bold Givers, the better. We welcome guest contributors like you.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

If there was a manual on how to love well, we’d like this site to be it. We believe the only way to love is to love fully, proactively and unconditionally, and that God is the author and ultimate model of this form of love.

That’s why we look for writers who are passionate about promoting life-giving relationships, not superficial ones, through their personal stories and those of the world around them.

We do not do revenge, trash talk or trivial advice.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

The most effective path to learning is teaching and the surest way to receive is to give.

By using our platform to reform the way we love, you will be giving yourself the opportunity to:

• Widen your audience
• Advertise your site & products on every article you write (through your profile)
• Grow as a writer and individual
• Network with fellow co-authors
