When Your Microphone Dies and You Realize You Were More Attached Than You Thought
There are certain objects we use so often that they quietly become part of our creative rhythm.

When Your Words Become Worship: The Christian Writer’s Calling
Most Christian writers don’t wake up one morning with a trumpet blast of certainty. There’s rarely a dramatic moment where God parts the clouds and hands you a pen.

How to Strengthen Your Character’s Interior World
Every compelling character has two stories — the one happening around them and the one happening inside them.

If you want readers to stay,… Read more

How to Write with Clarity When You’re Exploring Deep Themes
Some of the most meaningful writing comes from the deepest places inside us — the questions we wrestle with, the truths we’re learning, the wounds we’re healing, and the faith we’re growing into. But writing about deep themes can also make our prose feel heavy, tangled, or unclear. When we’re trying to express something profound,… Read more

What It Means to Be a Christian Writer Today
There has never been a more complicated, noisy, opportunity-filled time to be a Christian writer. We live in an age of endless content, instant publishing, algorithm-driven visibility, and a constant pressure to produce. And yet, for Christians who feel called to write — whether fiction, nonfiction, poetry, devotionals, essays, or anything in between — the… Read more

Christian Writing and the Holy Spirit: Finding Your Process
Every so often, I stumble across a question online about Christian writing that’s interesting but imprecise — the kind that begs for a deeper, more thoughtful answer.
