Ep. 22: The How and Why of Audio Books with Kelda Poynot

As writers, we rightly focus on our audience, but we sometimes unintentionally alienate the listeners over the readers. Many audiobook fans, might even avoid reading your book if it doesn’t have an audio option available. Join us for this fun conversation where Kelda will encourage us to consider audiobooks as an option for our work and the practical how-tos to get it done.

Ep. 21: Writing with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness with Lara D’Entremont

Christian writers want to expound God's Word rightly and tell it in a way that captures their readers' attention. Many writers sacrifice beauty or rightly handle the Word of truth when writing Christian content. Lara will teach us to guard our writing against biblical errors and write the truth in a lovely way.

Ep. 20: The Why & How of Hosting a Podcast with Amy Simon

Hey, you podcast listener! We know you enjoy listening to podcasts (that's why you're here!), but have you ever considered using a podcast for your own writing endeavors? How might a podcast help you get your message out to a larger audience? A podcast is a popular way to reach an audience, but do they hold value for writers? We think the answer is a resounding "Yes!"

In this episode, we'll examine why a writer might or might not consider starting a podcast and how it can effectively reach and grow your audience. We will also discuss some simple ways to get started if you decide it would be right for you.

Amy is the host of the popular The Purposeful Pen Podcast, a show that helps writers bless God and bless others with their words. You can learn more about Amy's work and follow her podcast here: https://www.amylynnsimon.com/purposeful-pen-podcast.

Ep. 18: Doing What You Can While Finding Peace in What You Can’t with Cara Marie Blondo

This week, Cara Blondo will help us consider the idea taken from Mark 14:8 of the woman who "did what she could." As Mary anointed Jesus with costly perfume, many disciples and Judas criticized her gift. Jesus, on the other hand, praised her beautiful sacrifice, and we honor her today. As we shift our perspective from the frustration of what we can't do because of lack of time, ability, etc., we also learn ways to see what we can do and how to serve. No ordinary offering is too small to make an eternal impact. How are you stewarding your gifts for the kingdom---despite your limitations? We all have them! Join us for this discussion and be encouraged in your kingdom work.

 

Cara Blondo is a gifted writer and Bible teacher! You can follow her work and writing at www.theonethingdesired.com and find her on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/the_one_thing_desired/

Ep. 17: Writers Write: 5 Important Questions for Christian Writers to Consider with Kelda Laing Poynot

God has blessed us with powerful words. Some come in the form of teaching and sharing our experiences. Some weave into stories that engage and entertain our readers. Kelda will encourage us writers to write our God-given words by answering five important questions. What has the Lord placed on my heart to write? How best are these words shared? What skills, knowledge, and expertise do I already possess? What research or skills do I need to hone? Do other opportunities align with or distract from my calling to write?

 

Kelda has written several books, and she's also a writing and life coach and homeschool consultant. You can learn more about her work at www.KeldaLaingPoynot.com
