Faith Through Fiction

Episode 1: Faith Through Fiction - Stop Feeling Guilty About What You Love to Read


Listen Later

Too many people feel stuck choosing between shallow fiction or dry theology. What if you never had to choose again?

Pastor Rick Porterfield discovered something powerful after 30+ years of ministry: when you turn life-changing sermons into gripping stories, people can't put them down AND they grow spiritually. No guilt required.

In this inaugural episode, Rick shares the moment he realized we've been sold a false choice between entertainment and spiritual growth—and what happened when he decided to do something about it.

🎧 In This Episode, You'll Discover:

  • Why Christians feel guilty choosing novels over Bible study (and why they shouldn't)
  • The surprising reaction when Rick turned his first sermon into fiction
  • How story teaches spiritual truth more powerfully than preaching
  • Why God gave us imagination—and permission to use it

📖 Plus: Hear an exclusive excerpt from Rick's novel "Through the Storms: Learning to Hear God's Voice"

🔥 Coming Up: Rick reveals his upcoming projects including "Welcome to the Family," "The Porch Swing Gospel," and "Many"—a gripping novel about the Gadarene demoniac.
