As a Christian writer, it’s likely that you interact with scripture in your work. Sometimes you retell a story from the Bible, or quote a verse, or reference an idea. And every time we do, there’s a responsibility to handle scripture well. 

 

But how do we do that?

Today’s guest is Trillia Newbell, a prolific author, speaker, and the acquisitions director at Moody Publishers. She is a powerhouse of wisdom, and particularly gifted at teaching the Bible, whether on a stage to an audience, or in a book to readers. 

 

In this conversation, Trilla explains to senior editor WIll Parker Anderson: 

 

• Why her writing process starts with God, not cultural topics

• Why you should know the differences between Christian publishers 

• How to summarize your book idea in one word

• How to overcome fear about publishing your thoughts

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer vision of how God transforms the world through words. And how your words can play a part in his redeeming work.
