About the episode
"Through my hands, make it the story you need it to be for the people who need to read it."
Whenever B.C. Catholic reporter Agnieszka Ruck hits writer's block, she says a quick prayer and returns the story back into God's hands. With God's steady hand writing alongside her, it's no wonder that Agnieszka's writing has always been inspiring to read! Agnieszka has been with the B.C. Catholic for about six years and shows no sign of slowing down. In this episode, we talk to Agnieszka about her journey with faith and journalism, and how storytelling has been her medium for glorifying God.
