For Your Consideration


Last week, I finished up a lengthy blog series on faith. I am going to launch a new blog series on September 14, this one focusing on something very practical and containing information I have never seen anywhere in print or online. In between, I am going to publish some miscellaneous poetry I have written over the years. And, having just bought a house, I am going to focus on moving. But today, I am going to ask you to consider supporting Brennan's Pen.

Through the years Brennan's Pen has grown substantially. Directly and indirectly, with it I minister to hundreds of pastors, missionaries, professors, Bible college students, Sunday School teachers, and local church leaders around the world. Whether it is a brief selection from a book I have been reading, or a blog article I have published, an audio sermon I have preached, a Zoom class link, or a personal interaction with a reader, I send out nearly 15,000 emails a month. Those emails contain completely free content, including every one of my audio sermons via Brennan's Pulpit. The Zoom classes I teach via Brennan's Pen are done at no charge.

The problem that has arisen as this ministry has grown is simple. Providing this much free content on this wide of a scale has begun to cost me more and more money. I view this as a ministry, not a money-making opportunity. I have never charged for any of it. But the cost of providing such a ministry to so many people is becoming onerous. If you see value in a ministry to local church leaders like this, and you would be willing to help me bear the cost of doing so I would be grateful for your support. Again, to be clear, I am not trying to make money. I am trying to simply pay the costs associated with providing this much free content so widely.

As a way of saying thank you for helping me in this I want to offer my patrons two unique things. The first is access to the digital files of all the quotes I have sent out over the last ten years. These files contain 2,400 quotes from hundreds of books about ministry. The quotes are organized into hundreds of categories by subject and more are being added daily. The second unique thing available only to patrons is access to my organized sermon notes. These are not notes to stand alone sermons. They are the notes to in-depth series I have preached over the years, expository series, biographical series, doctrinal series, subject studies, Bible institute curriculum, etc. There are detailed notes for nearly 1,200 messages available with more being added regularly.

If any of this interests you - supporting Brennan's Pen as it ministers to local church leaders, and/or receiving access to the quotes or sermon files - I would simply ask you to consider signing up for a monthly subscription. I suggest $1 per month though I would happily take a more if you want to give it. Patreon is a widely reputable organization, and your financial information will be kept secure. To sign up simply click the blue link below.


Thank you for your consideration. And to those of you who already support Brennan's Pen my sincere thank you.

Tom Brennan
