Weaving Faith Into Fiction in an Authentic Way

Faithful fiction is so important to present readers with an accurate representation of Christ and what it looks like to live for Him...but oftentimes, Christian fiction gets a bad rap, and faith is forced or glossed over to make stories more accessible or subtle. We as Christians should portray faith accurately and authentically...and this episode discusses how to do that and what mindsets to avoid when writing Christian fiction!
