    Episode 34 | You Don’t Need Discipline—You Need Freedom (Especially If Your Brain Works Differently) with Melissa Gijsbers

    We’ve been sold the idea that success in writing comes down to discipline and structure—but what if that’s not true for everyone?

    Episode 33 | From the Mind to the Page - Your Story Matters

    In this episode, Michelle Dennis Evans calls on her listeners to recognise the sacred value hidden in their personal stories. Your life experiences, the trials, triumphs, and quiet moments of faith, are not meant to remain hidden. By faithfully documenting them through autobiographies, blog posts, personal letters, or journals, and maybe one day a book, you can become a source of encouragement and hope for others walking similar paths.Michelle also explores the profound power of fiction as a tool for spiritual growth. Just as Jesus used parables to reveal Kingdom truths, immersive stories allow readers to safely process their own life lessons, emotions, and faith journeys. Storytelling is not just creative, it is a divine instrument for personal transformation and building deeper connections with God and His people.It is time. Just start. God can breathe life into the smallest notes and fragments. Your stories are seeds of greatness, treasures entrusted to you by the Lord. Take that step of faith with obedience and share your story. Never underestimate the potential your words have to bless, heal, and glorify God.

    Former journalist, Belinda Pollard, now writes books, is a book editor, and coach who specialises in writing mainstream crime novels, such as her "Wild Crimes Mysteries" series. Rather than writing traditional Christian fiction, she focuses on writing with purpose by incorporating what she calls grace notes with subtle hints of the Kingdom into stories that tackle difficult real-world issues. She aims to reach readers who are away from the faith and nudge them closer to God through relatable characters and storytelling.In her journey of creating with God, Belinda has had to unlearn the "lie" of the creative muse, discovering that faith-based writing requires discipline regardless of whether one feels "inspired" or "in the flow". She is a passionate advocate for the Christian author community and founded Grace Writers in 2017 to support those writing for the mainstream. Her current project, Scorched Earth, reflects her commitment to deep research, as she recently spent time in Coober Pedy to authentically capture the experience of living underground for her mystery setting.

Stories that reflect real struggles, lasting hope, and the truth of a God who shows up in the middle of it all. Stories with heart, humor, faith, and a few emotional rollercoasters thrown in for good measure.Because while the story might be fiction, the God Marlee writes about is anything but.
