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.
Welcome to The Story Steward Show.

Ep. 43 - Why Writers Shouldn’t Be Alone
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I’ll be honest — I’m a loner. I’m basically a 21-year-old hermit who loves writing, keeping my thoughts to myself, and pretending I don’t need anyone. But lately, God’s been convicting me: we weren’t made to worship alone.
In this episode, I talk about how easy it is — especially for writers — to go through faith and creativity in isolation. I’ll share how avoiding community can rob you of accountability, encouragement, and that powerful experience of worshiping in a room full of believers.
We’ll look at what the Bible says about community — “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20) — and why being part of a church body changes everything.
If you’ve been trying to do faith, writing, or life all on your own… maybe it’s time to ask: what are you carrying alone that God meant for community?
