How Do I Write a "How-To" Article?
Since Leadership Journal articles help church leaders with pressing problems, they often take a how-to format. To write such a piece effectively:
- Select one problem that you and many church leaders have—and you've made progress in dealing with. You'll know you've gotten a topic defined when you can express it as "How to …" For example, "How to respond when a church elder refuses to give financially to the church" or "How to preach the uniqueness of Christ in a pluralistic culture."
- Identify 1-5 principles, practices, and/or understandings that have helped you address this situation.
- For each principle, tell a story, from your experience or someone else's, which shows the principle at work.
