Tailspinner's Ink Statement of Vision and Faith

 

Talespinner’s Ink Vision Statement

At Talespinner’s Ink, we believe storytelling is a divine gift—an echo of the Creator’s artistry—that has the power to inspire, challenge, and unite. Our mission is to craft immersive, thought-provoking narratives that prioritize artistic excellence while reflecting biblical truth. Rooted in faith, imagination, and a commitment to authentic storytelling, we aim to glorify God, engage readers, and reshape the perception of Christian media.

Our stories explore themes of redemption, grace, and human struggle, drawing from the timeless truths of Scripture. By weaving together compelling characters, rich worlds, and meaningful conflicts, we invite readers to dive deep into narratives that resonate with the complexity of life while pointing toward the hope found in Christ.

Through our work, we aspire to:

• Encourage exploration of God’s truth in ways that are deeply engaging and relatable.
• Challenge the norm of Christian media by prioritizing captivating stories over overt messages, allowing faith to shine naturally through the narrative.
• Foster a community of creatives and readers who are passionate about storytelling and faith, inspiring one another to create with excellence.

We acknowledge that our stories will never be perfect, but we strive to honor the ultimate Author of redemption. By embracing both the beauty and brokenness of creation, we aim to reflect God’s grace, love, and truth in every tale we tell.

Statement of Faith

Talespinner’s Ink is founded on the following biblical truths, which guide our stories and creative philosophy:

1. The Bible: We affirm that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God, written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate authority for truth, morality, and the foundation of our storytelling.

2. God: We believe in one sovereign God who exists eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is the source of all beauty, goodness, and truth.

3. Creation: God created the universe to reflect His glory. All true beauty, goodness, and creativity ultimately originate from Him, even in a world marred by sin.

4. Humanity: Made in God’s image, humanity bears the Creator’s creative and moral imprint. Yet, through Adam and Eve’s rebellion, humanity fell into sin, bringing brokenness to both creation and culture.

5. Creation’s Curse: The fall introduced sin, suffering, and death into the world. This brokenness often distorts our stories and culture, but glimpses of God’s beauty and truth remain.

6. Jesus Christ: Jesus, fully God and fully man, is the centerpiece of God’s redemption plan. He lived a sinless life, died as an atonement for sin, rose again, and reigns in Heaven, offering salvation to all who trust in Him.

7. Salvation: Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers are reconciled to God, made new, and called to live for His glory.

8. The Church: God gathers His people into the Church to worship, serve, and proclaim His truth. The Church is called to create and engage culture in ways that reflect His Kingdom.

9. Marriage and Family: God defines marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s relationship with the Church. Marriage and family are foundational to God’s design for humanity.

10. Resurrection: Jesus Christ will return to restore all things, judge the living and the dead, and establish a New Heavens and New Earth. In eternity, God’s people will worship Him through creativity, exploration, and joyful work.

11. Gifts of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the continued work of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers with spiritual gifts to build up the Church and spread the Gospel.

Our Commitment to Storytelling

We recognize the failures of much of modern Christian media, which often prioritizes message over artistry. At Talespinner’s Ink, we strive to tell stories that are immersive, engaging, and artistically excellent while reflecting the deeper truths of Scripture. Our narratives may be strange or unconventional, but they will always point, in their essence, to the hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ.

We are not perfect authors, nor will our stories always achieve perfect theology. However, they will reflect the basic principles of our faith, inviting readers to think deeply about God, humanity, and the grand narrative of redemption.

Together, let us craft stories that glorify the ultimate Storyteller and inspire others to discover His truth through the art of storytelling.
