Summary

Welcome to The Backstory, a behind-the-scenes series from Future of Faith exploring projects funded by the National Storytelling Initiative on Christian Faith and Life. In this episode, hosts check in on project staffing and partnerships, and share lessons about hiring, timelines, and budgeting for long-term storytelling work. Producer Shannon interviews Jon from Holy Post about how their grant amplifies both adult-focused media and new children’s content, highlights the importance of audience credibility, and explains plans for 20 short films and 20 children’s videos paired with podcasts and written pieces. The conversation also covers distribution, evaluation, fiscal sponsorship, and collaboration possibilities among grantees. www.HolyPost.com
