I don’t care about New Year’s resolutions. They sound nice and die fast. What actually matters is how you structure the first stretch of the year. In this episode, I break down how I’m thinking about the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and how short-term structure creates real momentum. If you want 2026 to be different, it doesn’t start in December… it starts with how you move right now.

My dear friends, we have officially changed the name of the "Rewind Storytelling Show"... and I am so excited to share the reason why with you all!

The new David movie promised epic storytelling, but did it deliver? I dive into what went right, what went horribly wrong, and why, despite its flaws, it still matters. 

In this episode I talk about George Bailey and the trap he fell into, spending his whole life living in the gap between where he was and where he thought he should’ve been. He had blessings, purpose, and people who loved him, but he couldn’t see any of it because he was always staring at the life he never got to live. And it nearly destroyed him. We dig into how easy it is to slip into that same mindset, how it steals joy, and how God can pull us out of that darkness and show us the truth. If you’ve ever felt like you missed your chance or your life hasn’t gone “the way it was supposed to,” this episode is for you.

This episode might sting a little, but in the best way. God doesn’t need you. He doesn’t need your talent, your plans, your writing, your “I’ll try harder next time.” He is God with or without us. But here’s the beautiful part… He chooses you. He invites you into His work anyway.

Today I talk about the freedom that comes from realizing you don’t have to carry the weight of saving the world, fixing everything, or being “enough.” God is already enough... and He simply asks you to walk with Him. If you’ve been burnt-out, striving, or feeling like you’re failing Him… this episode is for you.

There’s nothing like that awful storytelling moment when a character finally starts to change… and then the truth comes out. The lie. The mistake. The thing they didn’t mean that way. Suddenly everything they’ve built shatters. And they’re left saying, “Wait—no… that’s not who I am anymore. You don’t understand.”

In this episode I break down how Klaus nails the accidental betrayal beat and why it hits us so deeply. We talk about the moment where old choices catch up with a character who’s trying to do better, how to write that emotional collapse, and how this beat sets up a powerful redemption and defining choice.

Scrooge’s story hits different when you realize he wasn’t always a cold, bitter old man. He was a boy once. A dreamer. Someone who loved and lost and slowly shut himself off from the world. And that’s why his redemption matters so much... because underneath it all, he’s human. Just like us.

In this episode I break down why his transformation is so powerful, what it shows us about grace, and why second chances should never be taken for granted.

In this episode, I break down how Elphaba and Glinda’s opposing desires and fears drive their choices, create conflict, and lead to real consequences. If you want to learn how to write characters who challenge each other, push the story forward, and reveal deeper truths through their clashes, this episode will show you how to do it.

Spiritual battles are real and they are fierce. You were never meant to fight alone. In this episode we explore the power of standing with other believers, surrendering yourself alongside them, and how unity becomes your strongest defense against the enemy. Alone we are vulnerable, but together we are unshakable. If you want to resist temptation, overcome attacks on your faith, and stand firm in God’s truth, this episode will show you why community isn’t optional... it’s essential to survival.

Today we’re talking about what it actually looks like to hand your writing over to Jesus. Not just saying we trust Him but actually letting go of the reins and giving Him the entire work in progress. The dreams. The drafts. The pressure we put on ourselves. When we stop gripping our stories so tightly, we finally make space for Him to move.
