I am constantly learning what people are most interested in. When I write or speak, I do so out of an internal compulsion, a movement of The Spirit. Apart from teaching series, I communicate about what I see around me. It may be God’s embedded wisdom in creation about business ethics or Scriptural principles about a topic (like the use of our time) or a passionate belief (pro-life is sacrosanct to me) or a different take on an accepted cultural viewpoint (there are ‘secular’ theocracies, for instance) or it could be a person, book, or idea of interest (Maverick, a biography of Thomas Sowell).
In 2022 (*see below) these are the top five posts, out of a total of about 50,000 views over 365 days, across multiple platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, WarpandWoof.org and MarkEckel.com) that garnered the most attention from our readers, listeners and viewers.
1. “Getting Knocked Down” – People want to hear about your failures. They want to know if you are just like them.
2. “Calamity I” – You comfort no one when you do these five things.
3. “Fragmented” – How does it feel to live with paranoid schizophrenia? Our son Tyler explains.
4. “10 Questions to Ask Another Point of View” – Do you get mad and yell? Or do you ask questions? Find out how to counter another point of view.
5. “Make No Mistake” – This is nothing new. It is a renewal. The ten beliefs that have not changed, even after the death of our son.

*You can read a tribute to our son Tyler Micah who died on June 16th of this years and number of poems I have written under “Musings.” In fact, nine Truth in Two’s from September through early November were dedicated to Tyler. You can find them on YouTube. I left out the most read pieces across multiple platforms that honored Tyler – by far the most read and watched posts and videos of 2022.
