Feel like the odd girl out in writing spaces that celebrate edgy, explicit content? Wondering if there’s still a place for clean, faith-filled fiction — or if anyone even wants to read your book?
In this heartfelt episode, Kathleen Guire shares 3 biblical, practical ways Christian writers can meet reader expectations without watering down their values. If you’ve ever feared your story won’t be taken seriously because it’s clean, this conversation will remind you that faith-filled fiction can be powerful, layered, and deeply needed.
You’ll learn how to: ✔️ Understand genre expectations while staying true to your convictions ✔️ Let go of pressure to “write to market” in ways that compromise your faith ✔️ Build community with like-minded Christian writers who get it
Whether you’re just starting out or wondering if your clean, Christian stories matter in today’s world — this episode is a reminder that your voice matters, your stories have impact, and there are readers waiting for exactly what God has called you to write.
