Best of 2010 Blogs

At the beginning of 2010, the HCB community had 500 sites. (HCB stands for “High Calling Blogs.”) Since then we have had 650 more sites join the network. That’s more than 100% growth in less than a year, and it’s a tremendous amount of content to engage with.

Our team of 18 editors is working very hard to develop tools that will sort through the noise. For now, you can subscribe to our RSS feed of featured posts or check back to view the raw feeds of our members who have categorized themselves as work, faith, culture, or family writers. This past year, we even contacted several of you about publishing opportunities for your content at TheHighCalling.org and our Christianity Today channel, FaithInTheWorkplace.com. (Sadly, we are not yet able to receive unsolicited manuscripts.)

Our editors brainstormed a long list of the best articles in the network last year. Even though I stretched our top ten list into a baker’s dozen or so, I couldn’t include all of the great articles written by our 1100 bloggers! Thank you so much to the community of folks out there (you, dear reader!) who are committed to serving God in your daily work and helping inspire others to serve God as well.

Enjoy listening to our five most popular audio messages from 2010, and subscribe to our Daily Reflections and Weekly Calling messages to stay encouraged throughout 2011 about the high calling of your daily work!
