Time for a word to our sponsor

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 6, 2022 by David BergslandJanuary 6, 2022

Yes, time for a word to our sponsor is due. I saw a snatch of a lyric from Caedmon’s Call this morning that really struck me—we’re all stillborn… It ties in with Amir Tsarfati’s near constant reminder—no one’s born a … Continue reading →

A deeper faith for Christian fiction amazes me in recent days. I just finished the second series out of my world build for Albuquerque in the future. I had no idea what to write next. As you may have noticed, … Continue reading →

Christian urban fantasy defined for me

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 20, 2021 by David BergslandAugust 20, 2021

Christian urban fantasy defined for me as I get started anew. It’s time for a new book. I’m drawn to Urban Fantasy because my stories are too edgy for Contemporary or even Paranormal Romance. Besides, my characters tend to know … Continue reading →

Just avoid preaching with character witness in daily life

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 27, 2021 by David BergslandJuly 27, 2021

Just avoid preaching with character witness in daily life. Has it dawned on you yet that preaching is primarily for evangelists? For most of us, the simple sharing of what the Lord has done in our life recently is a … Continue reading →

But, seek the anointing constantly minute-by-minute

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 18, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 18, 2021

But, seek the anointing constantly minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by day. These are perilous times. We need a fresh word from the Lord constantly—if we want to be fruitful in these changing times. At this time, the change is constant, and relentless. … Continue reading →

Writing blessing witness causes growth

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 5, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 18, 2021

Writing blessing witness causes growth and foolish surprises. It’s still amazing that I’m surprised or growing. As I’ve been sharing what the Lord has been doing for me in writing fiction, I’ve been blessed far more than I expected. Now, … Continue reading →

Polished prose often misses the mark

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 24, 2021 by David BergslandFebruary 24, 2021

Your fiction sells what is in your heart

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 30, 2021 by David BergslandJanuary 30, 2021

Your fiction sells what is in your heart. Jesus said, “Out of your heart, the mouth speaks.” But it’s fiction! No, it’s your fiction. What are you selling? Whatever your heart is focused upon, your fiction will promote. So, what … Continue reading →

This is meant to help Christian leadership, parents who need to keep track of what is being fed into their children's minds, and Christian authors—by encouraging them to write powerfully edifying Christian fiction.
