We talk a lot about income streams here on the show because there are countless ways to take your book or message and make money from it. A book is only the starting point.

Veteran podcaster and SEO expert Thomas Umstattd explains what the Christian market is and what authors need to consider when writing for it.

Success in publishing requires more than just writing a great book. It requires people. People to publish your book, talk about it, buy it, and recommend it.People. People. People. Some authors struggle in their careers simply because they are isolated. How do you connect with people who can help make your book successful? My grandparents' generation called this “winning friends and influencing people.” My generation calls it “networking,” which strikes fear in the hearts of many writers.One essential tool to help you get comfortable introducing yourself as a writer and talking about your work is your pitch. In ​this week's episode​, Thomas Umstattd interviews Lindsey Hughes, who is a pitch master, having worked with Disney and major animation franchises.You can find the blog version along with links to everything we talk about here. 2024 Novel Marketing Conference

Rachel Welcher is an editor at Fathom Magazine, a poet, and an author whose book Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality is about to be released. Today, Rachel shares how she followed all the purity culture rules before marriage, how she felt when her marriage ended in divorce, and developing a more holistic sexual ethic. Rachel's story reminds us that God wants our hearts no matter what our circumstances are. Listen to Rachel's story now! Stories Rachel shared: Growing up in Northern California as a pastor's kid Realizing at age 11 that she could have her own a relationship with God Having a “blessed life” without suffering through her mid 20s Following all the rules as she dated her first husband Her husband's crisis of faith that created her own Why “it could have been worse” doesn't bring comfort The friend who allowed her to lament Dealing with shame and depression after her divorce What the Lord taught her through wrestling with him Learning that following Jesus doesn't require all of her previous theological commitments Going to graduate school at St. Andrews Beginning to be published as a writer Discovering that spiritual disciplines are not a replacement for necessary medication Why she loves writing poetry Deciding to reread purity culture books for how they impact a victim of sexual abuse Great quotes from Rachel: Doing the right things does not guarantee a good inner life. God can allow great suffering for his children and still love us. The calling to honor God with our sexuality doesn't end at the alter. What if we talk to teenagers about the spiritual growth through periods of unmet longing?

Thomas Umstattd is the author of Courtship in Crisis and the host of the Creative Funding Show. He works with authors to help them sell more books. Thomas is one of the most articulate people I know and the thoughtful way he engages his faith will make you to think differently, too. Today, Thomas shares his story of being distracted by a version of the prosperity Gospel and how the Lord used experience to break free from it. His story has everything from viral blog posts, to feelings of abandonment when he changed his views, and even a dating grandmother. Listen and share Thomas' story today! Stories Thomas shared: Growing up in a “middle of the road” homeschool, Christian family His faith coming his own Subtly believing the “relational prosperity gospel” of courtship Blogging about courtship hoping to make it practical His experience with courting a young woman and her dad The toxic language of purity culture and the difference from courtship culture Why he became disillusioned with courtship His grandmother's dating life was better than all his friends combined Breaking up with the courtship model of dating The closeness of God as he experienced negative reactions to his new position The healing that came through writing his book Getting married himself and expecting their first baby His podcasting career Great quotes from Thomas: When everyone around you has kissed dating goodbye you can't date even if you want to. Twisting the Gospel to do something that seems like a good thing is still twisting the Gospel. Twisting the Gospel makes it wrong. The love of God was like a warm blanket around my shoulders. You never really know God is with you in those dark places until you go to those dark places and experience God being with you.
