A great story is more than just an interesting plot. The stories that stay with us are often the ones built around characters we connect with, understand, and genuinely care about.

But creating memorable characters isn’t about making someone perfect, impressive, or larger than life. It’s about creating someone who feels human.

For Christian screenwriters and storytellers, understanding your character’s struggles, desires, and transformation is essential to writing stories that connect with audiences on a deeper level.

In this episode, we explore what makes a character compelling and how you can begin developing protagonists your audience will want to follow from beginning to end.

We cover: • Why flawed, human characters are often more powerful than perfect heroes • How internal conflict creates emotional depth and stronger character arcs • Why your character’s transformation has to be earned throughout the story

Whether you’re developing a new screenplay or struggling to make your current characters feel authentic, this episode will help you uncover the deeper elements that make characters memorable.

Because audiences don’t just remember what happened in a story.

They remember who they experienced it with.
