This space is born from ache. From my own brokenness and wholeness. The newsletter is written from the heart, and reveals:

A longing for wholeness in a world that keeps breaking.
A search for home, for belonging, for salve that heals the ache.
A heart that has chased after false saviors — and finally found the real one.

Through storytelling shaped by Scripture, I write Christian fiction that reaches into the quiet pain of people’s lives — and gently lifts our eyes to the only hope that doesn’t disappoint.

Each week, you’ll receive:

❤️ A weekly devotional rooted in the themes of my current novel — unpacking its ache, its beauty, and its gospel heartbeat

📖 Behind-the-scenes reflections on how each story echoes the deeper story of Christ

🔥 A quiet but persistent reminder: you are not forgotten, and the gospel is still good news

Paid subscribers also receive an audio version of the book narrated by me, and a signed physical copy of each new book release, one every two or three months.

This isn’t just a newsletter.

It’s an invitation to walk together through story
to wrestle with brokenness and sin,
to see where false saviors fail us,
and to encounter the God who never does.

Whether you're weary or full of faith, this is a place for those who long for more —
for the One who offers it, and for the gospel of grace that is the solution to it all.

— Mike
