From Preacher to Thriller Author with Dan Walsh
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
In this episode of the Christian Readers Community Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dan Walsh — a former pastor turned bestselling Christian author. Dan shares the incredible story of how he pivoted from preaching to penning faith-filled thrillers and historical fiction, and how this unexpected journey has transformed his life and ministry.
We also dive into how two of his powerful novels have been adapted into faith-based movies, the meticulous research that goes into his stories, and the incredible support and insight his wife brings to his writing process. Dan's journey is inspiring, heartfelt, and filled with wisdom for aspiring writers and readers alike.
