Personally, I see it as taking back the culture for Christ. Taking something pagan and turning into something that is meant to glorify God.

That’s actually one of the primary missions of Kingdom Pen.

But if you…[Read more]

So cool you’re pursuing an illustrating career and theology!  What kinds of essays do you write?

We’ll look into the privacy option. Actually, the original reason we had it public was for safety.

I used to be a member of a private creative writing forum, and it allowed for some people to prey on members of the community.…[Read more]

My wife grew up in an abusive religious cult that actually had the…[Read more]

My family started out going to an Evangelical Free church as well, I used to work at a Presbyterian church, and I’ve a southern baptist church before too, so a little familiar with all of that. My views on God and the Bible have changed pretty radically since I was a kid though.

But definitely agree with the EF belief in…[Read more]

Exactly! Love geeking out over the Bible! Baptism is the new circumcision. There are so many other passages and example of baptism all throughout scripture that are all consistent and point to this reality.

Passover for example. The Israelites had to be covered by the blood of the lamb by spreading the blood on their doorposts. We now…[Read more]

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. – 1 Peter 2:24

It’s a very simple plotting structure, kinda like a balance between pantsing and plotting.

It’s:

1. Set-up
2. Inciting Incident
3. 1st slap
4. 2nd slap
5. Climax

This way, you only need to plot out 5 key events, and then you can fill in the rest as you go.

Also love the music/song power.

So you’re just looking for a name for her?

I typically use baby name sites, Behind The Name, or AI for finding a good name.

Also, what made you choose the username “Renegade”?

So cool you write Fantasy and want to own your own business! I’m a huge fan of entrepreneurship!

Also so cool how many different creative pursuits you have!

I’m also curious about your “health issue roulette”. My wife had so many health issues for so long and almost died as well until she received healing from…[Read more]

Also intrigued that you like essay writing. What topics do you like to write about?

How did you hear about Kingdom Pen?

My name is Reagan, and I currently own and run Kingdom Pen. I figured I should probably reintroduce myself since it’s been years since I’ve posted here or on Kingdom Pen.

Kingdom Pen was officially started by an old friend of mine who now goes by Logan Ryles back when he and I were on the OYAN forum. He started it as an eMag/PDF that…[Read more]

You have freedom in Christ.

Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? – Colossians 2

At best, it’s a Romans 14 issue, as just about all external things and lif…[Read more]

“I’m just a sinner saved by Grace.”

It sounds nice, but it’s actually not what the Bible teaches.

If you are born again, then the Bible actually teaches that you are Righteous. So you are NOT a sinner, you are actually “the…[Read more]

The Bible is very clear on how to be saved. In Acts 2:38, the crowd asks Peter what they must do to be saved. He says: “Repent AND be baptized, each of you, in the n…[Read more]

What is your denomination?

I don’t subscribe to any one denomination. I’m just a bible-believing disciple of Christ.

“Christianity came to Greece and became a philosophy. It came to Italy and became an institution. It came to Europe and became a culture. It came to America and became a business.”

Did you grow up with this denomination? Are…

How did you find KP?

Thanks for joining! How did you find us?

What meter are you using? (I’m not very familiar with meter so I have to ask.)

The rhymes are slant rhymes I think? They’re not exact. But it’s pretty consistent until it gets to the last stanza. I don’t think that…[Read more]

Essentially, it’s a rhyming poem, but not a metered one. Some sources consider it free verse,…[Read more]

I’ve written several endings that all have slight variations in words and…[Read more]

One of the edits I’m considering is possibly connecting some of the shorter, broken lines in the part of the poem you mention. It’s supposed…[Read more]

I wrote this poem after my uncle’s passing. He was self-taught on guitar and left a few of the instruments behind (as well as many people who loved him).

I think it must’ve marked it as spam before because I edited it a few times? Not really sure. Weird.

The Shabby Guitar

Silent is the shabby guitar 

Locked and put away

Hi, @kathleenramm ! I haven’t tried reposting it yet. It’s still hidden so far as I can make out. I see on my profile that I made the post, but it’s still marked as spam in the thread section.

I have a lot of writing posted on my website, actually. Which, not gonna lie, n…[Read more]
