In a profound conversation on the Voices for VoicesⓇ podcast, writer David Solomon shares his journey of faith-based storytelling and offers invaluable insights for aspiring Christian writers. His testimony illustrates how divine purpose can shape creative endeavors and impact lives in remarkable ways.
Solomon's perspective on writing begins with a fundamental question: "Why am I doing this?" This question of purpose forms the cornerstone of authentic storytelling. He recalls a pivotal moment when he followed divine guidance to work on an unexpected project, which ultimately helped prevent someone from taking their own life. This experience underscores the transformative power of stories guided by faith. As Solomon puts it, "God can use even the tiniest person to make the biggest impact," a truth he witnessed firsthand when his testimony led hundreds to spiritual awakening.
The metaphor of God as a father waiting on a basketball court brilliantly illustrates Solomon's approach to faith and prayer. He describes how he envisions God as a dad always ready to listen, play one-on-one, and offer guidance. This accessible image of the divine—as someone you can talk to naturally about your struggles, joys, and everyday experiences—offers a refreshing perspective on prayer that removes intimidation and formality. "Talk to God like he's your best friend, like he's your dad. Just talk to him like a normal person," Solomon advises, making spirituality approachable for everyone.
For writers specifically, Solomon outlines five essential points. First, find your purpose. Second, identify your audience—are you writing for yourself or others? Third, don't criticize yourself excessively or let others' criticism derail you. Fourth, celebrate completing your work without becoming prideful. Fifth, edit with care but remember that "good is good enough" or you'll never finish anything. These practical guidelines address the common challenges writers face, particularly the paralysis of perfectionism that prevents many from completing their work.
Perhaps most provocatively, Solomon challenges the Christian writing community to embrace diversity. He points out that when Christian fiction fails to represent diverse characters and experiences, readers seeking representation may turn to secular content that contradicts Christian values. "Isn't it our responsibility to make sure that they don't go there, or at least create an avenue where they can choose not to go there?" he asks. This call for intentional inclusivity stands alongside his commitment to creating content that maintains Christian values without unnecessary graphic content.
Through his projects like "Destiny Halls" and "God's Heroes," Solomon demonstrates how supernatural elements in the Bible can inspire contemporary storytelling that speaks to modern audiences. His concept of ordinary people receiving supernatural abilities from God in times of need creates a fresh approach to the superhero genre while remaining grounded in faith principles.
Solomon concludes with humility, acknowledging that he couldn't succeed alone and needed his wife's support and guidance. This final lesson completes the circle of his message: writing, like faith, flourishes best in community rather than isolation. By sharing his email and offering to help aspiring authors, Solomon models the collaborative spirit he advocates.
