Reading and Writing Catholic Fiction ft. Lindsey Todd

This ones for my book nerds: where you at? 📚If you love Jesus and love books, but don't always love books *about* Jesus, this ones for you. Author Lindsey Todd and I are talking about why she writes novels, why we think so much Catholic fiction falls flat for us, and why it's important for Catholics to read outside of our bubbles from time to time. We also chat about her work with the Chastity Project and she tries to convince me to outline my writing projects, which...I'm still not 100% sold on. Impulse Writer 4 Life. Enjoy!
