What if the stories we read could shape the way we live out our faith every day? 

Do you crave good stories that not only entertain but also point your heart back to God? 

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, award-winning Catholic author and speaker Amy Schisler joins us to talk about the power of story—how fiction and Scripture together can deepen our walk with God and help us find holiness in the midst of ordinary life.  

You’ll hear:

  • How stories can reveal God’s presence and help us live our faith more intentionally.
  • The surprising connection between fiction, Scripture, and holiness.
  • Why Amy believes that reading—and writing—with faith can transform both heart and mind.
  • The inspiration behind her Bible study, Clothed with Strength and Dignity, and how biblical women can teach us courage, humility, and trust.
  • Amy’s honest reflections on overcoming self-doubt, listening to the Holy Spirit, and writing as a form of prayer.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to integrate faith into your creativity, this episode will leave you encouraged and inspired to keep saying yes to God’s call in your life.
