How to Write a Post-Evangelical Novel (#256)
Listen now
Description
I was joined by editor, podcaster, and novelist Jason Kirk to discuss how he put his Evangelical upbringing — barely distinguishable from my own — into his recent novel Hell Is A World Without You. We also discussed the power of storytelling to capture the overlap of complex ideas, fear of Hell, queer affirmation, Dune, and more.  **Watch this episode on YouTube** https://youtu.be/69-5jPEmrBE Jason’s Book “ Hell Is a World Without You”: https://www.amazon.com/Hell-World-Without-Jason-Kirk/dp/1735492647 https://www.jasonkirk.fyi/p/novel “Pretty Good Vibrations” Episode mentioned - Further Seems Forever Deep Dive: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pretty-good-vibrations/id1652779250?i=1000651894374 ___________________ REGISTER for THEOLOGY BEER CAMP: https://homebrewedchristianity.lpages.co/theology-beer-camp-24/ YHP use code "RETURNOFYHP" for $25 off your ticket! ____________________ Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/ Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKoch Faith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/ Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia.com -- he is accepting more work!)
