Finding the right tone in your writing is difficult. How do you balance knowledge with humility? Challenge with grace? Creativity with clarity?

Most people toggle between all of these, hoping their words land. But it feels like a guessing game. Today’s guest, Steve Carter, gives this helpful advice: Write to your former self. What do you wish you knew 10 years ago? An author of several books, including his most recent release, Grieve, Breathe, Receive, Steve chops it up with editor Will Parker Anderson about:

• Why writing in community will dramatically nurture your craft

• How to communicate on the page vs. stage

• How to focus and create time to write

• The importance of choosing your lane as a writer

Steve is a master communicator, whether speaking in front of a live audience or sharing through his books. As you listen to this episode, Steve’s pastoral wisdom, heart for people, and creativity as a communicator will impact you. You’ll feel like you’re at a coffee shop, sitting across from a friend. And you’ll walk away with a clearer vision of your calling to write.
