Christian fiction often falls into two extremes—either too sanitized or too heavy-handed. But what if we could write authentic, faith-driven stories that tackle real-life struggles while still offering hope?
In this episode of The Christian Writers Podcast, host Kathleen Guire explores how to address cultural and moral issues in fiction with grace, truth, and powerful storytelling. Using real-world examples from The Girl Who Was Trafficked, Francine Rivers' Bridge to Haven, Fatal Fixer-Upper, and The Girl Who Was Haunted, Kathleen shares how to navigate difficult themes without alienating readers.
You'll learn:
✅ How to write about tough topics without preaching – Let characters wrestle with faith organically, rather than force-feeding readers a message.
✅ The balance between realism and hope – Show brokenness without glorifying it, and leave readers with a sense of redemption.
✅ Handling pushback – Some readers will think you went too far. Others will say you didn’t go far enough. The key? Write the story God put on your heart.
