About God Jots™

Presented with trademark wit and humility by (yours, truly) Nashville Rock/Pop Artist Ender Bowen, God Jots™ is a series of books, articles and other various media that explores the nature of Love, Compassion, Joy, and the real-life connection between human beings.

Inspired by authors like C.S. Lewis and SQuire Rushnell, books like God’s Blogs by Lanny Donoho and performers like U2, God Jots™ is as analytical as it is spiritual, while it brings the concepts of God and Faith back down to Earth (with none of the extraneous dogma and drivel).

Plus, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll shake your fist at the moon... for some reason.

"...Really changes the way you think about your interactions with other people... life-changing..."

Aurora | New York

"...He really makes these very deep and philosophical concepts easier to understand..."

Paul | Tennessee

"...I was surprised at how light and easy and even fun some of these articles are..."

Mark | Iowa

The Disconnecting Nature of Simple Labels

Labeling other people as "that one thing" may make sense from a purely instinctual point of view. But does it meet the spiritual and human requirements of Compassionate connection?

Why Tolerance Fails Itself And What We Can Do Instead

On the surface "tolerance" sounds awesome. But despite its positive intent, we aren't using it properly. Why is this? And what might be utilized to better effect?

Why You Take Social Media Posts And Comments Personally

Why are hateful social media posts often impersonal, but taken personally? Why do they happen in the first place, and what can you do to bring Compassion into the conversation?

God Jots™ Spiritual Paths

A work in progress, God Jots™ Spiritual Paths are my way of illuminating what I believe to be some of the most important keys to a fulfilling and spiritually-connected life.

Compassion means striving to understand and Love your fellow man (or woman). But it just as easily means knowing how to Love yourself. As a result, it primarily focuses on your relationships with other people, particularly how to purposefully and intentionally interact with others from a place of Love.

Empowerment includes self-reflection - understanding your own vices and how evil so easily manipulates and grows within you - and what to do about the things you discover.

Purpose is about recognizing God's work in you, and the reason you're here to begin with.

"...I don't ever feel like I'm being talked down to or that I'm being judged... There's no pressure..."

Amanda | Missouri

"...I wish I had discovered this site earlier... but I love that there's already so much to read!"

Jennifer | Washington

"...Analytical but not clinical... it's loose... almost like a stream-of-consciousness Ted Talk..."

Trevor | Maine

God Jots™ 10 Important Things

In my God Jots blogs, the most important and underlying theme is the idea of Compassion. It's the device through which we get to share God's love with others, and ultimately experience the Joy He intended for all of us.

But how do we know the proper way to experience those things? How do we get there? How do I keep my head, my heart, and my spirit centered and aimed for Love, Compassion, and Joy?

In 10 Important Things..., I try to give you a jump-start in the right direction. This mini-eBook shows you what I think are - you guessed it - TEN of the most important things (and it was hard... there are many) that you should consider each day. Use these suggestions to inform your interactions with others. Think about them when you're in the shower preparing to start your day. Turn to them when the news is bad and you're not sure how to react.

Whether you're a long time Christian or just getting started on your walk with Christ, 10 Important Things... will get you started on the road to truly experiencing God's Love, Compassion, and Joy.

"...I love the articles on Compassion... Very deep, but he makes it easy to understand!"

Candace | New Jersey

"...Compassion seems to be the really big secret... I've already seen it work in my life..."

Michael | Florida

"...It's amazing how he can talk about such deep and serious things and still somehow make you laugh..."

Scott | Oregon
