    Why Choose Managed Hosting? {Lessons from Two WordPress Security Events}

    Most of the time, good website hosting is invisible. Your site loads, your visitors find what they need, and you never give your server a second thought.

    Then late October 2026 comes along. In the span of just a few days, the WordPress world faced two very different security events: a critical flaw in PHP, the software most of the web runs on, and a breach at the company behind one of the most popular WordPress backup plugins. Neither was caused by anything a website owner did wrong. And neither could be solved by clicking “update” in your WordPress dashboard.

    That’s exactly why we believe managed hosting matters.

    Better Together: Practical Ways to Partner in Business and Ministry

    If you write, speak, or host a podcast, you probably know this feeling—you’re surrounded by people when you’re on the stage, the page, or the screen. And then you’re sitting alone at your desk, figuring out everything else on your own.

    The calling is real, but so is the isolation.

    Here’s the good news—you were never meant to do it all, all by yourself. Scripture reminds us that two are better than one, because when one falls, the other can help them up. That, of course, is true in ministry, and it’s just as true in business.

    MRM Project Feature: Faces of Cancer Publishing Project

    Kim VanderPoel knows the cancer journey from both sides of the hospital bed. A former nurse who spent nearly thirty years in healthcare, Kim was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at age forty and began writing during treatment as a way to process the fear, faith, humor, and grief that came with it. She later founded Hope Lives Now, a faith-based resource offering honest encouragement and hope to people navigating difficult health journeys, and to the family and friends walking beside them.

    Her book, Faces of Cancer: The Emotions No One Prepares You For, and the God Who Meets You There, is a compassionate companion for the emotional and spiritual side of cancer—the part that can be hard to explain to family, friends, and sometimes even yourself.

    The Power of Batching {How to Protect Your Time}

    Does this sound like your normal work day? You answer a few client emails, hop over to update a page on your website, remember the invoice you meant to send yesterday, write a quick social caption, and circle back to your inbox—only to look up at 3:00 and realize the project you planned to finish hasn’t been touched.

    It’s not that you aren’t working hard. It’s that your time is being pulled in a dozen directions at once.

    That’s where batching comes in. It’s one of the biggest time-savers we recommend to clients, and it’s how we keep everything from client projects to our own newsletter moving forward without the rush. Think of it as a simple rhythm for busy creatives and business owners—a way to work ahead, not harder.

    4 Ways to Steward Your Business Well

    When we chose Steward Well as our theme for 2026, we expected it to shape how we protect our capacity, invest in our team, and handle our clients’ callings with care. And it has, but we’ve also realized the theme reaches much further than our workflows.

    Stewarding well is about everything God has entrusted to us—our calling, our creativity, our capacity, our experience, our gifts, and the community He has placed around us. None of it is ours to own, and all of it is ours to care for. That’s true whether your work looks like a business, a ministry, or, like so many of the people we serve, both at once.

  • Meet MRM: Saige Jackson – Copy Editor & Proofreader

    Hi, I’m Saige—Proofreader & Editor and a poet at heart! I am constantly caught sitting in the small things—on the porch, in the rain, at the table. I love to observe, to be still the way the Lord commanded, and I think that stillness is where life holds most of its beauty. Poetry has always been my way of capturing and cherishing the lovely little moments that might otherwise pass me by.

    I’ve been in the writing and editing world for about five years now. I studied creative writing all four years of my undergrad at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and during that time I interned with SoLit, a local literary nonprofit, where I helped manage the marketing side of things.
