About this episode
Jordan Raynor sits down with Mike Maihack, Graphic Novelist, to talk about why Mike initially declined an offer from Dreamworks, how the Old Testament’s “slow crawl to Jesus” inspires Mike’s stories, and how we can all—regardless of our vocations—think about “writing characters, not Christians.”
