For me, it's creating characters and their worlds while exploring possibilities.
The Lord Jesus used parables--stories with a teaching point to reach His audiences. Our culture today is heavily influenced by the media of television, film, art, and fiction books.
When I write, I write with an aim to highlight something that I believe could be a reality in the reader (or the writer: me) if we'd trust His Word and abide in His Spirit without compromise. I do this in my stories as subtly as possible.
Creatively, I'm attracted to writing. When a blank page is in front of me, it's as attractive to me as a canvas must be to a painter with fresh paint and brushes. I'm about to create something--to orchestrate a world. And hopefully, that world will reflect a much greater reality.
This, for me, is why I enjoy and love writing. It's not easy, and I'm still learning and growing as a writer. But this is the best part of being a writer.

Hi Sean Thanks for running the Christian books only review group. It's such a good idea. I'm also an Christian author based in the UK, so it's great to know that there are some of us out there. I have a book that has been on Amazon but recently put on other platforms and could really use some reviews. Could you please tell me how your group works?
