Last week brought heartbreaking news. Charlie Kirk, a Christian author and speaker, was shot and killed while addressing his audience.

You’ll discover:

• How Charlie built his platform through books, speaking, and social media without compromising his convictions.
• Why listening well to your audience can make you a stronger communicator and writer.
• What authors should (and shouldn’t) say during emotionally charged cultural moments.

The cultural ground beneath us is shifting fast. The kinds of books that impacted your faith a decade ago, and possibly inspired you to write, likely won’t have the same effect on readers in this cultural moment.

How do you write books that resonate with readers without compromising biblical truth?

In this week’s episode, I speak with pastor and author Chase Replogle to talk about 21st-century apologetics and why Christian authors must rethink what it means to “engage culture.”

You’ll discover

• What current readers value more (fact or feelings?)
• How your book can rise above the noise without creating more noise
• What Jordan Peterson and other influential voices teach writers about relevance

If you want to impact people for Christ by answering the questions they’re asking without compromising truth or sounding cliché, this conversation is for you.
