I’m grateful to introduce my friend Malinda Fugate to you in this author interview for episode 7 of Words From Silence! We got to talk about her new book, Stories from the Sidelines, in which she shares imaginative retellings of the stories of lesser-known people from the Bible and explores how these sidelines stories can speak to us today.
A little more about Malinda… When she isn’t writing, Malinda serves full time as the Children’s Education Director at a church in Southern California. She earned a communications degree with a theatre emphasis and has worked behind the scenes for Christian radio stations in Los Angeles.
Her writing includes the books Stories from the Sidelines and The Other Three Sixteens, published by Ambassador International, and the self-published activity-filled devotional, Bible Time for Active Kids. Additionally, she has been a commercial copywriter and written various faith-based stage plays. She also co-produced "A Single Girls Guide To", a lifestyle blog and web series.
Malinda lives by the beach with her pup, Yoshi, where she often creates art, reads, or explores the many adventures to be found in her neighborhood and beyond. You can find Malinda online here or on Substack here.
As always, we would love for you to listen and let us know what thoughts this conversation sparked for you!
Whether you find yourself in a period of being in the spotlight or in the shadows of the sidelines, may you experience a felt sense of your unconditional belovedness, worth, and belonging.
Be well, friends.
