Continuing our adventures in balmy Minneapolis, Dave and I had the chance to chat with our friend Jeremy Writebol. Jeremy is the director of Gospel-Centered Discipleship (our sponsor for the last few episodes), as well as an author and a pastor. During our chat in a relatively quiet executive lounge, we discussed:
The time I gave Jeremy a critical review on his book Dave's commitment to the show and our long introductions Why we need to have a community around us, especially as writers What it's like to build an editorial process from scratch How reading broadly (and beyond your intended genre or field) will make you a better writer What would it be like to write a story about just one moment What a good side gig looks like How writing gives an opportunity to serve the church globally and not just locally When you can mark a book as "done" on GoodreadsThis episode is sponsored by Gospel-Centered Discipleship. On April 13th, GCD will host their 2020 Writer's Intensive in Louisville KY (right before T4G) featuring Ronnie Martin, Jonathan Dodson and Jared C. Wilson.
