The Story Steward Show
I believe every writer is called to put Christ at the center of their work.
Too many creatives try to carry that calling alone. We push harder. We build routines. We try to stay disciplined enough to make something meaningful happen. And yet we still feel anxious, tired, and scattered.
We were never meant to do this by ourselves.
I’m Justice Tilsher, and I’m convinced the only lasting peace in a creative life comes through surrender to Jesus Christ. Not hustle. Not pressure. Surrender.
We were created for two things.
To love the Lord our God.
To love our neighbor and make disciples.
I believe our stories can be an act of worship that does both.
This show is for Christian writers who want to write with peace, freedom, and surrender. Writers who want their work to flow from their faith, not their fears.

Ep. 30 - Storytelling Lessons from the Jungle Cruise (and Other Disney Attractions)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we're heading to the theme parks to break down how Disney rides can teach us everything we need to know about storytelling.
From the spooky spectacle of Haunted Mansion...
To the adventure and chaos of Pirates of the Caribbean...
To the over-the-top puns of Jungle Cruise...
We’re unpacking how Disney uses setup, worldbuilding, and emotional payoff to craft unforgettable experiences — and how you can apply the same tools to write a novel that pulls readers in and doesn’t let go.
If you've ever wanted your book to feel less like a lecture and more like a ride, this episode is your guide.
