Supported Creatives
Biblical Creativity in Motion!
The Bible accomplishes all that God intends. It never returns to Him empty. So what is a Biblically-fueled Creative? It's an imaginative individual who trusts in the Word of God to determine the 'what', the 'how', and the 'why' of their creativity.
FlyingFaith is proud to support these talented brothers and sisters in Christ who ascribe to the Biblical Creative Method! Check this page every month for special announcements, giveaways, and releases from these extra special artists, musicians, authors, and bloggers!

Esther 4:14
"For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Life Verse
Lori is one of the most experienced writers. You name it. She’s done it. Traditionally published? Check. Independently published? Check. Award winner? Triple check. Her head in the clouds and her boots on the ground? Absolutely! Just listen in on her and her husband’s podcast. You’ll see what a well-learned, Christian woman she truly is.
Amy E. Bryant
Author
Psalm 44:3
"For not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them."
Life Verse
Hearts yearn for wonders beyond the senses, and Amy, the lovely New Zealand (Middle-Earth) maiden, pursues that call with her entire being. For what point is there in creating or telling stories if it's not to capture and embody the eternal spark of the loving Biblical God Himself in her life
and in her tales?
Kristi Cain
Author - Blogger
John 1:5
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
Life Verse
Kristi Cain. Lady of Destiny. The path God shaped for her, she has never doubted. She’s a dedicated mother;
a dedicated teacher; and a dedicated writer with a newsletter that’ll inspire most anyone to chase their God-given destiny as well. Kristi loudly answered His call, and she ceaselessly follows His direction along the creative path.
Cassandra Colvin
Dancer - Painter - Digital Artist
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Life Verse
Cassandra Colvin...Graceful...sensitive...
refined....This elegant ballerina spends
meticulous days on her paintings to capture the perfect lighting or
swoop of the line. Such is
a person who dances with God. She cares about the littlest things, and her acrylic beaches and palm trees always emerge exceptional.
Crystal Grant
Author - Blogger - Influencer
Isaiah 26:3
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You."
Life Verse
As an exceptional fantasy author, Crystal Grant’s keen eye for detail is a testament to her talents. More impressively, her gifts don’t just weave her own epic tales. Christ has given her a generous heart. Many a budding author (like myself) have experienced her skillful insight and selfless support; thus, allowing a wider scope of readers to experience even bigger adventures.
Jason McCoy
Author - Blogger - Speaker
Micah 6:8
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Life Verse
Appearances are sometimes deceiving. Jason may seem the average American dad. God, however, sees a powerful voice. When abroad, Jason tirelessly informs thousands about narcotics and aims to share Christ with addicts. In private, Jason masterminds huge epics about Christian warriors rising to the occasion….Christian warriors like himself.
Bryan T. Mitchell
Author - Blogger
Deuteronomy 30:19
"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."
Life Verse
A multi-award winning master of suspense, Bryan Mitchell is unafraid to ask the bizarre and fearful questions most don't dare speak. Don't let this fool you though. Bryan doubles as a lovable goofball who skips happily down sidewalks with his kids. Goes to show that his horror books may weave through deepest dark, but their destination? Always
Christ's light.
Emily Roberts
Musician - Graphics Designer - Artist
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Life Verse
Cellist, artist, firm woman of faith; Emily Roberts is the complete package. It’s little surprise then whenever the world-class Answers in Genesis organization calls upon her for her design-work. What is truly surprising is her immense humility over her gifts. She’s God’s girl—fearfully and wonderfully made—and she’ll design herself a t-shirt to tell you so.
Brittany Roberts
Musician - Crotcheter - Artist
1 Peter 2:9-10
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
Life Verse
If Brittany isn't crocheting cute animals; she's playing or teaching harp and piano. Actually, she's dabbled in just about every artform there is from dancing to sketching comics about a corncob family. But if she's not up to anything, you'll find her pondering the goodness of her Savior. That's sweet, considerate Brittany for ya.
Steven Rogers
Author - Blogger - Speaker
Mark 9:7
"And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, 'This is my beloved Son; listen to Him.'."
Life Verse
‘To live in Christ’s love and to love others well,’ is Steven Roger’s heart-song. As a genuine gentlemen, Steve earned the respect of hundreds; and as an award winning author, he remains dedicated to serving God through his writing. Jesus marked his path in steadfast kindness, after all. Steve, thus, continually aims for his literary works to do the same.
Matt Starr
Author - Reviewer - Filmmaker
Romans 12:1-2
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Life Verse
Prince of Bombast. Champion of Romanticism. Matt Starr boldly breaks norms as a filmmaker, as a novelist, and as one of the rare few Dark Fantasy specialists in the Christian market today. Though his tales are intense for some, the intense path we walked from darkness to Christ’s light is worth expressing in equally intense ways.
C. E. Stone
Author - Blogger - Editor
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths."
Life Verse
Miss Stone’s fictional galaxies burst with vibrance despite her being mind-blind. Her imagination
blasts off to space’s outer reaches so often that it’s a wonder she hasn’t built her own U.S.S. Enterprise by now. Thank the Lord for setting her on our tiny planet, though. Few are as passionate in bringing the Faith to the Space Opera scene as she is.
L. A. Thornhill
Author
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Life Verse
You can always count on Miss Thornhill to chart a map toward faith
and fantasy. As a self-proclaimed dual citizen of Narnia and Middle-Earth, she'll quickly (and gladly) whisk you off to uncharted places of her imagining in order to show you the Gospel bedrock of reality. Although already a Realm Award 'Finalist', she'll never put her lightsaber down in valiant witness of her Savior.
Becky Van Vleet
Author - Speaker - Researcher
Psalm 18:2
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
Life Verse
Miss Becky passionately preserves family stories through the writing arts. Her fiction books are inspired by true stories. Even her marquee piece draws from her father’s
WWII days. After all, God shaped our ancestors’ stories same as ours. They shouldn’t die. Becky won’t let them die. Hence, why God planted special writers like her.
C. S. Wachter
Author - Blogger - Performing Arts Edu.
Psalm 1:1-2a
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord,"
Life Verse
C.S. Wachter is anything but a typical Christian writer. She doesn't pull her punches in her fantasy novels. Any consequence can strike. No character is safe. Though her stories reflect reality’s harshness, they exhibit what Game of Thrones never could….God-centered faith and Gospel-fueled hope.
Julia N. White
Author - Blogger - Crafter
Isaiah 41:10
"...fear not, for I am with you;be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Life Verse
If you spot a small woman lugging her sword over her shoulder, it’s likely Julia. She’s Mistress of Crafts; Player of Typwriters; and Commander of the Nutcracker Legion. Most crucially, she’s God’s adopted Warrior Princess—both literally and literarily. She’ll likely slay you with her winsome charms if not by her spun tales of yore.
Sarah Wickenhauser
Author - Animator - Graphic Designer
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Life Verse
Sarah may be shy, yet her heart beats to adventure. She thrills to all things gaming, science fiction and fantasy; and with her incredible animation skills and her dreams of novelist-hood, God not only equipped her with a passion for fantastical worlds but also the keys to make them breathe.
