Ep. 46: Five Ideas to Make Your Writing an Act of Worship with Keri Willis

Do you consider the act of writing as worship?

You don't have to raise your arms or voice to worship the Lord. Writing is a spiritual offering; we can give to the Lord and ask him to receive it as worship and bless his people. Keri Willis understands this concept well. As a teacher, she knows that when she's excited and engaged in a lesson, her students are too. This kind of engagement yields far more results than a simple lecture or worksheet. The same is true for our writing. Whether fiction, non-fiction, devotionals, Bible study, or memoir, our attitudes as we write, the word pictures we present, and our correct representation of Scripture can serve our readers, moving them from spectator to participant. Keri Lynn Willis joins us for this conversation about how we can serve our readers and honor the Lord by using writing as worship.
