RazörFist’s Advice to Christian Writers Entering the Iron Age of Media

The landscape of media is changing. Legacy publishing houses and entertainment conglomerates are losing their grip, while a new generation of independent voices is rising. Some call it the “Iron Age of Media”—an era where bold creators build their own audiences, own their work, and tell the stories no gatekeeper wants told.

In my latest conversation with RazörFist, we dug deep into what this means for Christian writers—especially those of us carrying the pulp tradition forward. His advice? Stop waiting for permission. The Iron Age rewards persistence, craft, and conviction. If you want to write, then write. If you want to publish, publish. The tools are in your hands, and the audience is hungry for authentic, unapologetic storytelling.

RazörFist lays it out with his usual sharp wit and straight talk, but he also speaks directly to the challenge of being a Christian writer in a hostile cultural climate. We can’t afford to mimic the hollow messages of the world. We need stories grounded in truth, in beauty, in faith—stories that grab the reader by the collar and don’t let go.

I’ve embedded the interview clip video here so you can watch it for yourself. You’ll also find a link to the first half of the interview on The Bookcase Behind Me podcast episode with RazörFist, where we talk about faith, pulp fiction, and the future of storytelling. Both are worth your time if you’re serious about entering the fight. The Full 2-hour Interview will Premier on YouTube this Friday, Sept. 26th. Set your notifications now!

And while you’re at it, check out RazörFist’s own work:

• His acclaimed Nightvale Series (available on Amazon), a return to the grit and grandeur of pulp storytelling.
• His graphic novel Ghost of the Badlands (also on Amazon), which fuses Western grit with razor-sharp style.

As for me—I’ve got my own pulp tale coming to the battlefield. My novella Ezekiel Creed: Tribe of Dust and Blood launches September 25th on Amazon. If you’ve enjoyed my sermons, my pulp-noir fiction, or my theological deep-dives, this book is the culmination of it all—faith, steel, and storytelling forged together.

We are in the Iron Age. Time to write like it.
