I’ve been astonished and encouraged by the many wonderful comments from friends of Sorted Magazine. When I first tabled the idea of a magazine published via Substack to Bekah Legg, and eventually to the whole team, I hadn’t a clue if Sorted readers would want to make that giant leap from print to digital. It seemed a lot to ask and I confess to being apprehensive about whether it would take off. I needn’t have worried at all, turns out you lot are far more tech savvy than I’d imagined! So many of you have come over to Substack and seem perfectly happy to read the magazine on your digital device.
So I want to say a massive thank you for making the journey, for being part of this new adventure, thank you for your public and private messages of encouragement and especially for your prayers. These precious words mean so much to me, to Bekah and to the whole team. Here are just a few messages from the SD public comments section on Substack:
“Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the project grow.”
“I’m thrilled to see that Sorted Magazine is coming back in some capacity. It has been a fantastic magazine to share to the men’s groups I’m involved in. I’m very excited to see what the new version looks like and will be sharing with everyone possible.”
“Looking forward to receiving the first instalment, thanks Val & team, every blessing!”
“Great news, looking forward to the first issue. Only saying the other day that I missed the magazine. Will be praying for the team.”
“Really well done Val.”
“Great idea keeping the vision alive!”
“Thanks Val and the editorial team for moving forward with Sorted Digital – looking forward to reading the first edition!”
“Sounds great – glad you are continuing the mission!”
“Looking forwards to the digital version. I do miss the magazines. So happy this has been allowed and a great legacy for Steve.”
“Good ! I really like Sorted and it’s right that Steve’s legacy should continue.”
“Brilliant … it was a really nice surprise to get the email. I have really missed my Sorted, and really looking forward to the digital version, sounds great and would like to support you – Val, in any way I can. Bring it on!”
“So pleased to see Sorted reborn digitally. Looking forward to it.”
“Well done for this initiative- supporting you and cheering you on!”
Aren’t these readers wonderful?! Every now and then I sense a tiny glimpse of what it might have been like for Steve at the very beginning, all those years ago. Comments such as these have the power to propel a vision forward, because they reaffirm what God has already placed in the heart.
