We recently had the chance to connect with Graylynn T. Viltz MFA and have shared our conversation below.
Graylynn T., really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I thank God that I’m still here after all I’ve seen and endured. I believe He allows our experiences—good and bad—to become testimonies that light the way for others. Reaching back is part of our calling. It takes courage to share the chapters we’d rather skip, yet those moments often carry the most powerful lessons.
For years, I was afraid to put my story on paper, worried about how much of myself I’d have to reveal. Recently, I’ve sensed a clear pull to obey: to collect my life’s experiences—victories, failures, and everything in between—and shape them into book form. My hope is simple: that someone will read it and recognize God’s hand in the mess and the mercy, and find the strength to choose a better path.
What I once avoided, I’m embracing now. I’m answering the call to write with honesty and faith, trusting that transparency can become ministry for the next person or generation.
