A Peek into Publishing
What does it take to tell your story—and how can sharing that story serve a greater purpose in marriage and ministry? From her experience in Christian publishing and her own testimony of redemption, author and publisher Athena Dean Holtz offers an honest look at what it means to honor God through storytelling.
So many people desire to use their story as tools for healing, encouragement, and spiritual impact. You can partake in helping couples utilize their stories for this purpose and walk in their calling without sacrificing their relationships in the process.
“Learning to navigate new seasons can be an example for the people who are watching you,” Athena said. “Even when life doesn’t make sense, God is constantly working His good in the lives of couples who are called to His purpose,” she continued.
Whether it’s navigating the pain of loss, the challenges of blending families, or finding purpose in a new season of life, a couple’s story speaks to the power of partnership and calling.
Join us for this Up Close and Personal and further explore how storytelling, publishing, and purpose come together in the lives of couples who are willing to serve God through their pain and redemption.
