Can you write fantasy fiction as a Christian without sounding preachy or compromising your values? In this episode of the Christian Indie Writers’ Podcast, we explore how to write Christian fantasy that resonates with both secular and faith-based readers.
We’ll explore:
- Why fantasy is the perfect genre for spiritual themes
- How to weave biblical truth into stories without preaching
- Common pitfalls to avoid (like clunky allegory or theological confusion)
- Examples of Christian fantasy that do it well
- How to balance entertainment with eternal purpose
Whether you write epic fantasy, fairy tale retellings, or spiritual allegories, this episode will inspire and equip you to write fiction that reflects the heart of God—even in the most fantastical settings.
