Important Announcement!
Hello readers and listeners.
Wow, it’s been a year since I started Break Free with Karen Hunt. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of research and discovery. Thank you for your insightful comments, encouragement and for sharing my work with others. It keeps me going!
Quite a few of you have emailed me to ask when I will offer paid subscriptions.
After much consideration, I’ve decided that time is now.
PLEASE BE ASSURED, nothing will change as far as my essays, they continue to be free to everyone.
As my readership has grown and I am asked to share my thoughts in interviews and on podcasts, Break Free has taken over my life in the best possible way and I will continue giving it my all.
For $5 a month, here is what paid subscribers will receive:
At the beginning of each month, starting in June (my birthday month) I will send out a short recap of the previous month, with updates and interesting tidbits relating to the essays I published that month. This will be a quick way to catch up with essays you weren’t able to read.
I’m looking forward to adding one essay a month, dealing with faith, hope, encouragement, and inspiration. Here, I will reveal more about my own personal journey of faith, including an expose the underbelly of the nonprofit world, as well as reflections from warriors of truth that I look up to. The darkness is growing, and we all need as much encouragement as ever to shine brighter!
For those of you who don’t like the monthly thing, if you wish to make a contribution to my work you can do so through PayPal at profetinc@aol.com
And remember:
The greatest fear they try to give us is fear of death—that’s what all these wars and plagues and famines and everything else is about.
When I was a child and my family was traveling the world in our VW van, having some pretty scary adventures, my mom would read to us from A Pilgrim’s Progress. Here’s a quote for us today:
“To go back is nothing but death; to go forward is fear of death, and life everlasting beyond it. I will yet go forward.” —John Bunyan
Let's keep going forward!
Thank you!
I love Substack, it's a place where I can find people with courage who think for themselves. I'm glad you're accepting money now for your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, opinions, ideas, hopes, and fears with the world. It takes bravery to pour it out there in the face of public pressure and political leaders who speak nonsense to truth. Their house of cards will fall and there will be a day of reckoning. Their lie is big but truth is bigger.
I'm not sure it's fear of death they are pushing. I think it's more fear of not belonging. Yes, COVID scared many, but being left out drove much of the theater behind COVID.
Boomers (like me) were more controlled by fear of death in those Cold War days. It was the nuclear hell that cowed us; our sense of individualism was too strong to be controlled by in group/out group. Nuclear hell was a real scenario.
Now, not so much; that societal memory has faded. There seems to be a thirst now, among the people, to be part of the in group, the collective, that is more compelling than dying. No fear of God may mean no fear of dying. But fear of not belonging--that seems to be horrifying.
Didn't Christian face that also in his Progress?
