“Writing From the Well:

Creating Content That Flows from Intimacy with God”

For the writer who feels stuck, empty, or unsure how to move forward, this topic offers a fresh way to reconnect with the true Source of your words. Patty will share the simple rhythms she relies on—writing from a deep place of intimacy with God rather than striving or pressure. You will learn how to quiet the noise, refill spiritually, and let your message flow with clarity and ease. If you’re tired of forcing the words and long to write from a place that feels alive again, this talk will show you how to return to the Well.
