Ranking the BEST Christian Fantasy Tropes! (My Top Picks)
What are the absolute BEST tropes in Christian fantasy? As a Christian fantasy author myself (of the Creativity Stone Series!), I'm uniquely qualified to give you my *definitive* ranking of all Christian fantasy tropes! 😂 (Okay, maybe not definitive, but it's my honest opinion!)
In this video, I'm diving into a tier list to rank common fantasy tropes specifically from a Christian fantasy perspective. We're talking everything from "Chosen One" to "Dragons" and even the much-debated "Sacrificial Christ Figure." You might be surprised where some of these land!
Join me as I discuss:

15:15 My Final Rankings & Your Turn!
I'm sharing my thoughts on why certain tropes work well in Christian fiction, where some fall short, and what I hope to see more (or less) of in the genre. Do you agree with my S-tier choices? Or am I way off base?
