We are deep into 2025 and I am extremely excited about where things are headed! I have a book done and ready to go (more on that in a moment), podcasts are flowing, and we are slowly (but surely enlarging our audience!
Just in time for the birds to sing and for me to get over this ridiculous sinus infection! I don’t know about you, but in particular if you live in Tennessee, has it been awful for allergies for you too?
Okay, enough of that – let’s see what we’ve currently got On The Burner…
God Jots
Not only is it finally finished but it’s also already out for ebook and print distribution!!! Holy crap! Can you believe that? God Jots – Forgiveness And Healing: How To Seek, Offer, And Understand The Power Of Forgiveness is already on its way! I wasn’t going to say anything until the official announcement email came out later this week but the book releases July 15, and the pre-orders should be ready to go this Thursday, May 15! If you want to wait and get your hands on an advanced SIGNED copy, stay tuned for that. The plan is to have something available a full month early! Next step is recording the audio book! This will be the first one of these I’ve ever done!
As part of this book, and as a kind of free lead in, I have two new free eBooks on the way (for you, my mail list subscriber)! One has some easy tips on forgiving, while the other has some easy tips on asking forgiveness. I’m hoping to have those out by mid-June! Be on the lookout for those! They’ll appear right in your Subscriber Central!
Podcasts are moving forward as well! It’s been a bit of a difficult spring for this because in order to film these I need to pretty much look and sound health and, unfortunately, that has not been easy! To be clear, I’ve not been sick – I just had to deal with a very powerful sinus infection that I managed to fight off but couldn’t stop sounding like a honking goose for weeks afterward! Thankfully that appears to be over with. I just put a few more in the can earlier this week, and I have more coming.
Speaking of podcasts, if you have not been listening and downloading the accompanying workbooks for them, I highly recommend doing so! This is about getting the most you can out of this stuff, and it’s all free for mail list subscribers! You’re already here so take advantage of it!
Joy Commission
There has not been a ton of movement on this in the past month or two. Some, but not a ton. Part of this is because of how I’ve had to bare down on getting the God Jots book finished, but the other part is that I’ve been working on also tidying up EnderBowen.com (more on that in a second) and involving myself in other projects (more on that in a second too). I will be coming back to this and my plan is still to have the site up and operational well before 2026. We’ll just have to see how much time the God Jots work takes up.
Music
The Scarlet Dawn remix/remaster is still waiting to move forward. I may or may not be putting this out soon – it honestly is going to have to be determined by a plethora of other factors, not least of which that I also am working on new music little bits at a time. Something interesting is shaping up out of it. We’ll see what happens.
EnderBowen.com
As briefly touched upon above, I’m working on getting EnderBowen.com updated in a way that moves the site away from strictly being about music, and instead gets it to act as a central location for all the different work that I do, including God Jots, Joy Commission and other things. This is still where the music stuff is going to be, but I want to be able to showcase everything that makes Ender Bowen and the Ender Bowen brand special. You’ve likely already seen some changes on the main page. That isn’t even close to finished yet, but we’ll get there. Like the music and Joy Commission, little bits while other things are getting done. The plan is that I want to really lean into this idea of being an “Aspiring Compassionist”, and make that the piece that shines.
In relation to that, I’m going to have other things besides music to offer my mail list subscribers, including a book of tips for the Aspiring Compassionist (a shorter version of a much longer book to come) and some other little things. Excited to see what happens there!
Wrasslin’
As you may or may not know, I’m a gigantic professional wrestling fan. I’ve been a fan since I was about 10 years old or so and always wanted to be involved with it. That passion has led me to being involved with a local promotion here in Hendersonville called FXE. I’m currently working my way up into being an announcer, interviewer and commentator, with the ultimate goal of being an on-screen manager. Keep your fingers crossed and if you’re here in the Middle Tennessee area PLEASE make sure you come check out the shows. Keep your eyes peeled here and here for more.
There’s also this.
