SPS 244: When Faith Fails: Writing About Your Faith As A Christian or Pastor…with Dominic Done

Self Publishing School: How To Write A Book That Grows Your Impact, Income, And Business

When doubt creeps into the creases of our faith, it can feel like navigating a labyrinth without a map. Dominic Dohn, founder of Pursuing Faith and author of "When Faith Fails," joins us to light the path through that maze, discussing his deeply personal and scholarly journey from Oxford to the pulpit, and now to the page. We talk about the raw edges of writing authentically on faith, the way our darkest questions can forge the strongest beliefs, and how sharing our own stories can validate the experiences of others grappling with their faith.
Through the art of storytelling, Dominic reveals the secret ingredients that make a faith-based book resonate with its audience—a harmonious blend of personal anecdotes, theological insights, and scriptural wisdom. He offers a masterclass on weaving these threads into a narrative that strikes a chord with readers, all while navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of intellectual rigor. For anyone looking to express their spiritual journey through writing, Dominic's approach serves as a beacon, guiding the way to authentic and impactful literature.
And then there's the delicate dance of wearing multiple hats—pastor, writer, speaker—which Dominic manages with the poise of a ballet dancer. He shares his approach to staying productive and focused, revealing how personal quirks and time-blocking are key to success. For those who feel the pull to create and communicate across different platforms, Dominic's experiences shed light on the path to harmonizing these roles without losing one's voice or vision. Join us as we peel back the layers of Dominic Dohn's inspiring story, offering inspiration and practical advice for anyone seeking to infuse their work with authenticity and faith.
