Jason Jaspersen reads A Liturgy For Fiction Writers from the book Every Moment Holy by Douglas Kaine McKelvey. Christian Artists can have a wide variety of callings, sometimes more than one. For some people those callings can be similar. Other times, one of them is jumping out of planes for the armed forces, and the other is enjoying the calm of writing and painting. See if you can take a guess as to who our next round table discussion guest is going to be. Spoiler alert, it's a good one!
