I’m thrilled to share with you the chat I had with author Parker J. Cole on her podcast, The Write Stuff with Parker J. Cole, from PJCmedia.net! We discuss great Biblical scriptures for writers. Listen to the podcast embedded below, or go directly here to listen! I’ve listed the Scripture we discuss below so you can go back to it again and again, as I love to do. I pray you find inspiration in God’s word and that it leads your writing always!
