Is the Christian publishing industry changing in 2026? The answer might surprise you.
In this episode of the Christian Indie Writers Podcast, we break down what’s really happening in the world of Christian publishing—and what it means for YOU as a writer.
From the rise of indie authors and hybrid publishing to the growing importance of building your own platform, the industry is shifting in a big way. The traditional gatekeepers don’t hold the same power they once did, and more writers than ever have the opportunity to share their message directly with readers.
But with that opportunity comes new challenges.
We talk about:
- Why Christian publishing is becoming more decentralized
- How the role of the author is expanding beyond just writing
- The rise of direct-to-reader platforms and personal brands
- The biggest opportunities (and risks) for Christian indie writers today
- How to stay grounded in your faith while navigating industry changes
If you’ve ever wondered whether traditional publishing still matters—or if indie publishing is the better path in 2026—this episode will help you think through your next steps with clarity and confidence.
👉 Whether you’re writing Christian fiction, nonfiction, or just starting your first book, this conversation will equip you to move forward with purpose.
Prompt: A decision made in haste leads to unexpected consequences.
