How do you tell a story that emotionally touches your audience? Special guest Josiah DeGraaf of KingdomPen.com shares with us some vital tips on how to craft a thematic message in your story that resonates with your audience. Here's what you'll learn: - Why "subtext" is key to telling a nuanced story. - The reason that some stories come off as "preachy" and the secret to creating a theme and message that is impactful and connects with people. - Why most modern Christian allegories are sub-par and what you can do to make symbolism strong. And we also talk a bit about how community can help you improve your skill as an artist!

These are very good thoughts in this episode. My favourite books tend to be the ones with well-crafted themes.
