Learning from Perplexity

~from Perplexity by Chawna Schroeder

Writing, for me, is more than just telling a fun story. It is also a venue through which I explore my faith. It is a way God teaches me truth. The Sceptre & Stylus series has been no different this time.

Perplexity and really this entire series has been challenging me to reconsider what it means to follow Christ and depend on Him completely. It isn’t that what I believed before was wrong. Rather, it has shown me that my application to my life was incomplete. That I have often lived, inadvertently, with a dependence-plus mentality. “I trust Him—but I’ll also do xyz.” In the course of writing these books, it has almost become a mantra in my life to ask, “How much do I really trust Him?”
