Simply knowing “how to write” isn’t enough. Secular MFA programs are cranking out thousands of so-called “qualified” writers every year, people who know “how to write” but work at Starbucks. Our method of teaching creative writing is more effective than what’s offered at any MFA.  Our program also includes professional development, which fosters a variety of related skills that make the ability to write usable, saleable, and effective. First and foremost, our students will learn the ins and outs of the publishing industry, including how to market and sell their own work. They’ll understand where the opportunities are, and the […]

80% of seminary and bible school graduates will leave the ministry in the first five years. While their spirit and intellect are passionate for Jesus, in many cases they’re unprepared or unsupported for the labor of ministry, which can be very different from their expectations. Writers similarly suffer from a romantic idea of their work. They imagine their future in a loft apartment, working at the coffee shop, or typing away in a converted woodshed overlooking the mountains. Maybe there’s some kind of black tie release event on the weekend. This may be unrealistic. Whether it’s ministry or writing professionally […]

Our method of teaching creative writing is radically different from anything presently offered in American education. In addition to our method of teaching, the content of our curriculum is also very different from our academic counterparts. Masters of Fine Arts and collegiate writing programs are well known for producing writers and work that is far divorced from the demands of the marketplace. Within the publishing industry it’s jokingly called “The MFA Effect” or “Grad School Syndrome.”  These institutional programs produce writing that is artistic and follows all of the rules, but fails to connect meaningfully with the American public. The […]

The School of Kingdom Writers isn’t just a Christianized version of some secular program, it’s a dramatically original, powerful way to train up media influencers. The conventional approach to become a writer is to complete a 4-year humanities program and then attend a 2-3 year Masters of Fine Arts Creative Writing program.  More than 20,000 students each year will enroll in one of these MFA programs. These programs have become very effective at enrolling large numbers of students and churning them through an educational process. Over two or three years, students spend a lot of time talking and listening to […]

Of our three-emphasis curriculum, the first and most important pier is “Spiritual Development and Supernatural Ministry.” Spiritual Development is the process of drawing closer to Jesus, which we’ll foster by obedience to the Bible and through the development of healthy spiritual habits. We’ll spend a great deal of time in the practice of bible study, prayer, meditation, worship, solitude, fasting, and other spiritual disciplines in a guided environment. Spiritual development will express itself outwardly through evangelism, discipleship, and the development of small groups. Students will be provided with training and given opportunities to put their study to work in the […]
