“Writing from the Heart — nurturing your voice, honoring your story, and letting faith guide every word.”

Good morning friends, and welcome back to The Heart of Writing Podcast. Today we’re exploring one of the most powerful forces behind unforgettable stories: ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.

When characters are pushed into impossible situations, we don’t just test their strength—we test their love, morality, and identity. That’s where the true heart of storytelling lives.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why the fear of loss drives character decisions
• How morality shifts when survival is at stake
• Why flawed, messy, morally gray characters feel the most real
• How to ask the right questions to uncover your character’s emotional depth

Plus, I’ll share a free resource—the Character Profile Checklist—to help you dig deeper into your characters’ backstories, wounds, and contradictions so they leap off the page.

Writing isn’t about perfect heroes. It’s about honest, human characters who stumble, struggle, and grow. That’s what makes a story unforgettable
