"Evangelical Fantasy Is on a Quest" from Christianity Today

"That lack of a home has long been viewed as a problem for Christian spec fiction. Now, however, the category is coming into its own..."

Evangelical Fantasy Is on a Quest - Christianity Today

Christian speculative fiction struggles to get onto bookstore shelves. So the genre is opening other portals to readers.

I watched episode 3 of Skeleton Crew last night.

I have no idea what species Kh'ymm is, but now I want a plushie.

Wim and Fern are growing on me. Fern's got a little Leia Organa in her.

Onto episode four!

Exciting news!

I've been invited to contribute to a cyberpunk short story anthology alongside a stellar lineup of writers. ✨

My story was submitted last night, and I had a blast crafting it. ⚡️

Families have many traditions around the holidays and one of those is often watching a favorite holiday movie. My favorite Christmas movie is “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which debuted on this day (Dec 9) in 1965.

I can't wait to get my hands on those adorable Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes! They're like little bites of holiday cheer.

"Above the Circle of Earth" by E. Stephen Burnett and "Echo Nova" by Clint Hall are the two fiction reads I'm most excited for in 2025.

"Experience Jesus Really" by John Eldredge is the non-fiction read I'm most excited in 2025.

I noticed during the Thanksgiving games that my son and I have started saying "flag" with the exact same intonation as @tomgrossi.bsky.social every time there's a penalty, and "no flag" whenever the refs pick a flag up.
