About this listen

“If a man is a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted…” — Martin Luther King Jr.

In this episode Brett and Sam unpack a robust, Christian vision of calling: God delights in all good work. From bridges that don’t collapse to stories that ring true, Christians shine the light of Christ not only by what we say but by how faithfully and excellently we do our work.

For young writers, that means you can tell compelling, soul-shaping stories without forcing a conversion scene — and still honor Jesus.

You’ll hear:

- Why every honest job is holy work (and how that frees writers)

- The NASA janitor story and the dignity of “small” tasks

- What Martin Luther and Gene Edward Veith say about vocation

- Why you don’t have to “Christianize” your art to honor Christ

- Esther as a biblical example of a faithful story without explicit “God language”

This conversation is full of practical encouragement to write excellent, truth-telling stories. Plus, Sam finally gets it off his chest how much he wants to hit Bestselling Brett.
