The Creatively Christian Club is the membership companion to the Creatively Christian podcast. The Club furthers the mission of the podcast by providing special training, encouragement, and coaching for creative storytellers. We use the membership to financially support the podcast.
The Club and podcast are both produced by Theophany Media, an organization that pushes boundaries with creative media to send God’s truth out to the world in unique (and fun) ways. In addition to hosting podcasts, they also publish books and plays.
The Membership
While the podcast interviews all types of creatives, in order to provide the best service, the Creatively Christian Club specializes in helping message-driven creators–storytellers who communicate through podcasts, books, comics, or film. We curate resources about developing a creative mindset, telling compelling stories, publishing books, and plenty more.
We know that young entrepreneurial creators face many similar issues. One chief challenge is a lack of money. That’s why we keep our membership costs low and offer the first level, a Facebook networking and discussion group, completely free. Request to join the Creatively Christian Club Facebook Group at any time to get tons of free information and connections.

She gives us valuable resources for writing fiction, delivers great tips about having productive creative time, and closes the episode by reading from her latest book.
