David Solomon, ghostwriter of the acclaimed film "Sound of Freedom" and author of over 400 creative projects, invites us into the profound world of purpose-driven storytelling. With remarkable transparency, Solomon shares how his personal journey through human trafficking led to a ministry reaching hundreds of thousands through his "Mythical Creatures Around the World" platform.
Solomon eloquently distinguishes between writing as a hobby versus a profession, dismantling the myth that creative writing can't sustain a livelihood. "If you want something, then you can have it, but you have to be able to put the weight and get to the finish line," he encourages aspiring authors who face skepticism about their creative ambitions.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Solomon reveals how myths across diverse cultures—from Aztec legends to Native American folklore—mirror biblical narratives like the Tower of Babel and Noah's flood. These universal patterns emerge despite geographical separation, suggesting deeper spiritual truths embedded in humanity's collective storytelling. Through his work, Solomon bridges seemingly disparate worlds, reaching audiences who might never enter traditional religious spaces.
Perhaps most powerful is Solomon's testimony about abandoning a secular project mid-stream when divinely prompted to write a specific story—one that ultimately prevented a suicide. "God uses his storytellers to touch the world," he reflects. "We aren't the pastors at the pulpit, we're the messengers that get the people to be in those pews." Through his parable of someone taking a bullet for a stranger, Solomon illustrates Christ's sacrifice in terms that resonate with those unfamiliar with biblical language.
Ready to discover your purpose as a storyteller? Solomon's journey demonstrates how authentic, faith-driven writing can transform lives across cultural boundaries. Whether you're an aspiring author or simply appreciate powerful narratives, this episode will inspire you to recognize the profound impact of stories told with divine intention.
