Quelle est l’étape la plus importante pour rédiger des articles captivants et spirituellement enrichissants ? Quelles habitudes favorisent une vie d’écriture épanouissante ?

Ce sont des questions auxquelles de nombreux auteurs et éditeurs chrétiens sont confrontés lorsqu’ils cherchent à communiquer leur foi avec clarté, grâce et impact.

Dans cet atelier en ligne gratuit, Elise Tegegne, directrice de la communication de Synergie Francophone, abordera l’interaction entre votre vie spirituelle et votre vie d’écrivain. Vous découvrirez des techniques pratiques pour capter et retenir l’attention de vos lecteurs, et apprendrez à témoigner des vérités de Dieu à travers le récit de votre propre expérience. Vous découvrirez des outils pour écrire avec profondeur, authenticité et assurance, afin que vos articles non seulement informent, mais nourrissent véritablement le cœur et l’esprit de vos lecteurs.

Making visual decisions in a world that never slows down
2026-03-30 11:00 - 2026-04-26 12:00
We live and work in a visual world that never really pauses, and photography doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It unfolds in real time, packed with distraction, and uncertainty. Images are made, edited, approved, shared, and forgotten at a relentless pace. When you’re immersed in that cycle every day, it’s easy to rely on instinct and habit without stopping to ask why. During this four-week course, Jim Veneman, a professor of photojournalism, will discuss how to step back from the noise and look closely at how you’re seeing.

You’ll learn how to make intentional visual decisions that shape the success of your stories, even in distracting, uncertain, real-time environments. Reconnect with clarity, curiosity, and purpose—and renew your excitement for visual storytelling that is thoughtful, meaningful, and engaging.

Those who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion.

Course topics include:

Rediscovering how you see

The weight of even the small decisions

Photography is storytelling at the speed of life

Moving beyond the visual autopilot

Finding the magic between the plans

Seeing the familiar with fresh eyes

Rage, Charlie Kirk, and the power of magazine-style narrative empathy in a social media age
2026-05-14 13:00 - 14:00
The shooting of Charlie Kirk stunned people across the United States and the world. Rage, in many ways, was what killed Charlie Kirk. And it was rage that perhaps could have been thwarted. Social media was a driver of the rage that surrounded this leader. Fictions, created by those who opposed him (and those who supported him) created a world of unreality that left the facts of human experience aside.

God calls us, as journalists, to be truth-tellers, but he also calls us to be disciple-makers. How do we do that? Parker Palmer would say it’s by knowing our audience as we are known. The power of empathy in magazine style narrative has a way of bringing people face to face with those around them. In-depth interviews, background context, extensive research into who people have been, and who they are—this is what helps us see, hear, feel the world around us.

Magazine writers, if they’re patient, can be part of what’s known as the Slow Journalism Movement. Like the Slow Food Movement, it’s a discipline of attention to the details that others neglect. Let others be first. What’s better is to bring the truth of who people are in a journalistic approach that shows the colors, textures, aromas of life that make us human. And in that approach, very often, we see the fingerprints of God in the lives we explore.

In this free online workshop, Dr. Michael Longinow, a journalism professor at Biola University, will discuss how to see better than you have, hear better than in the past, and write with a depth you’ve perhaps never known. And it can make your journalism an antidote to the rage that social media stirs all around us every day.
