When you’re in the thick of writing a book, marketing is the first thing we all pretend we’ll “figure out later.” Then launch day hits… and suddenly we’re like, oh. Right. That part matters.

In this episode I walk through three really simple ways to start thinking about marketing now, not at the last second. 

I also talk about why I think Christian writers can’t just throw their words into the void and hope for the best. If God trusted you with a message, it’s worth stewarding all the way through... including getting it into the hands of the people who actually need it.

I’ve been working in 14-day sprints, and honestly, it’s changed my life. Why? Because life isn’t lived year to year... It’s lived in tiny, daily choices. In this episode, I share how rebuilding my habits in short, focused windows helped me get back on track, and how you can actually win this month instead of getting crushed by the whole year.

I’ll be brutally honest. I used to not get worship. The hand waving, the singing, the full surrender. I didn’t understand it. And if I’m being real, I was embarrassed by it. Ashamed, even.

How many times do we withhold our praise because we’re worried about how it looks? How often do we offer half-hearted, open-eyed prayers before a meal because we don’t want to stand out?

If that’s you, I want to encourage you today.

Today, I’m interviewed by M.B. Springer to share the raw story behind how Jesus Writing Month began, what it eventually became with Story Stewards, and how I came to Christ through it.

I hope you enjoy!

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.
