In our podcast today, Kathi and Michele talk today about devotional writing. Michele shares the steps on how to write a devotional.

Steps to write a devotional:
1. A specific Bible verse that serves as the THEME
2. An opening anecdote or personal story
3. Transition to the Bible reference
4. Personal application
5. OPTIONAL: Brief tie-back to original story

In today’s episode, you will know:

  • How a devotional is a bite size piece to help people with their day. 
  • You are never the hero of the story in a devotional. 
  • Learning to ask the questions before you spend all the time on the article.
