Do it!

Do it and don't look at your stats. If you are impacting one person, that is enough. Don't get caught up in the lie that you need to be a celebrity or you need to write a best seller in order for what you are saying to be important and relevant. The publishing system is heavily slanted to those who work in big churches and big organizations. Yes they have good things to say, but so do you! Jesus was all about planting seeds, small, seemingly insignificant. You do the planting, let him do the growing! And know that one person's growth is just as important as thousands of people's growth. (less)

Ep. 117: Cynthia Beach on Gender Justice & Writing Serious Fiction

Noah has a conversation with author Cynthia Beach about gender justice, abuse & trauma, and writing serious fiction. Cynthia talks about what led her to weave these important issues into her novel The Surface of Water, and how our stories can bring about change and transformation in ways standard approaches can't.
