Rewind Storytelling
I’m Justice Tilsher—bestselling novelist, story coach, and founder of JesusWriMo. I wrote my debut novel at 17 as a homeschool student, and now I help Christian writers like you silence the fears of comparison, self-doubt, and the lies of the enemy—so you can finally step into your God-given calling and write the book you were created to share. If you’re ready to write and publish the highest-quality book of your dreams—and change lives for Jesus—hit play below.
"As each have received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of Gods varied grace."

Ep. 24 - Writing Characters With The Gap And The Gain
In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the most powerful truths in storytelling — the reason your character’s goal will never actually satisfy them. It’s called The Gap.
Too many characters (and real people) live their lives thinking, “If I just get that one thing… then I’ll be happy.” But they’re wrong. And the gap between where they are and where they think they need to be? That’s where the real story unfolds.
I’ll show you how to use this concept to write more honest, conflicted, and gut-punching characters — the kind who are chasing something that won’t save them. Because the moment they realize that? That’s when the transformation begins.
