The Road to Rebekah, Part 1: Permission Granted

What Keeps Me Writing When the Words Don't Behave?

This episode is a little different than usual.

I hoped to share the story of Rebekah, a woman God chose to walk side by side with the patriarchs of Genesis - a story often overlooked by bible commentators. It’s a tale I am eager to share with you. However, with the tragic violence in the Middle East, I've decided it's best to hold off and not dive deep into ancient Israel’s origin story.

Instead, this season, I will share "The Road to Rebekah" my journey through the ups and downs of writing my book.

What’s In This Episode?

This episode of The Bible and the English Major is about my writing process - specifically the moments of doubt that come with it. I hope my reflections and experiences can be a source of encouragement for those of you facing your own creative hurdles.

Discover the sentence that got me past my paralyzing perfectionism

Find out why giving myself permission to "suck" has been the key to my writing progress.

Understand why I believe failing (or being bad at something) is a necessary step towards success.

Share in my aspiration to continue writing Rebekah's story.
