Writing about faith is a powerful way to connect, but let’s be real—it can also be a little nerve-wracking! In this workshop, we’ll ditch the pressure of being a “perfect” ambassador and focus on telling authentic, compelling stories. Are you worried about being too “preachy” or not “religious enough”? Do you wonder if there’s still room for doubt, messy characters, and real-world grit in faith-based narratives? We’ll look at bestsellers like The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble, and Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund to see how they keep readers hooked.

Attendees will learn to:

• Balance genuine faith-based themes with compelling, high-stakes plot tension.
• Create “imperfectly human” characters that readers can actually relate to.
• Navigate the diverse landscape of modern religious and spiritual publishing markets.
• Address themes of doubt and struggle without losing your core message.
• Develop a sustainable writing practice that honors your creative and spiritual voice.
