BYP 252: Steroids, Sci-Fi, and Scripture with Christopher Hopper

Today, I decided to bring one of my 3 AM friends onto the show. Christopher Hopper is not only one of my best friends in the world, but also the most talented person I know. To see him focus on his different gifts has been amazing. In this episode, he shares how he went from owning a pizza shop to becoming a best-selling sci-fi author. We also have a meaningful conversation on a variety of other topics, including: 1. The process for writing a fiction book 2. The difference between writing a story and writing a situation 3. Being present 4. How to deprogram our weaknesses without losing the good parts of ourselves 5. Reclaiming parts of our childhood 6. The process of learning to hear from and appreciate people who are different from us 7. Spirituality and the 3 kinds of psalms   Resources: Christopher on Instagram Christopher on Facebook Christopher’s website Ruins of the Galaxy series The Message of the Psalms by Walter Brueggemann Submit a question for future podcast episodes   Connect with Mike: https://mikekim.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikekimtv/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikekimtv Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikekimtv/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/mikekimtv YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeKim    *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
