I'm Payton Minzenmayer. As a pastor and bestselling author, I’m passionate about helping Christians tell their stories with excellence. I created Christian Story Lab to share practical tips and insights on turning Christian ideas into compelling narratives. Whether it’s for sermons, TV series, or novels, I believe the world deserves the best version of Jesus' story. I live in Vero Beach, Florida, with my wife and two boys, where I write early in the morning and spend the rest of the day chasing after life's simple joys.

We are a community of Jesus followers memorizing Bible verses and studying Scripture so we can be formed into the image of Jesus.
