Thanks for these words. I am pastor trying to use writing as a new creative outlet. I also want to use it as a way to process the weight or just awkward moments of ministry. I am writing my first piece now and entitling my publication “The Daily Calling.” Just found it interesting you also use the word “calling.” God Bless!
I am struck by the second half of Psalm 107:2.... Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, "whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy."
The battle belongs to the Lord, and he has already won it! Why do I still fight the desire to write? The Lord has set me free to rest in and tell his story.
I spent time yesterday writing to the Lord rather than about him. It made a difference in the words that came out! Thank you, Grant, for all of the helpful writing advice you share here.
I know this is your first post in this publication, but I just finished reading all of them (in reverse order!). Thank you for being an encouragement to the Christian writing community… It’s so needed! I recently started over — I deleted all my subscribers and previous newsletter to take my writing in a little different direction. I’m virtually at no readers on Substack (although I kept those directly following on my website), but I felt the Lord wanted me to do this and write to him and for him, regardless of any readers. All of your words resonated with my soul very deeply. And I just wanted to say thank you. I look forward to more. Bless you!
Thank you for your faithfulness, brother in Christ.
I work at an animation studio on the east coast, I've been looking to complete a Christian film - just finished reading this article, very encouraging.
