Can any good story that compels you towards a more liberated life be considered “Gospel?”  If the Bible doesn’t mention Hell, what else might fundamentalist Christianity be getting wrong?  Is this whole podcast made possible by Kristyn’s teenage years of evangelical somatics?  If inspiration is really a godsend, then isn’t our creative practice a worship of the divine?  

 

Kristyn with a Why chats with friend and fellow spiritual-creative Matt about story and gospel as they introduce themselves and set intentions for the stories they are working on in their weekly writer’s group.
