About

The intersection of athletic pressure and spiritual warfare

Vintage typewriter writing desk

Zachary Hill

Psychological horror writer and pitcher for Colorado Christian University's Cougars baseball team. Blends athletic experience with spiritual storytelling.

My writing explores the internal battles people face—the fears that shape us, the pressure that defines us, and the unseen spiritual forces influencing our minds.

Through competitive baseball, I've learned pressure, expectation, failure, and mental warfare. These experiences fuel stories that reveal spiritual lessons hidden beneath everyday experiences.

While stories lean into psychological intensity, they carry redemptive purpose—showing God's light piercing even the most chaotic mental spaces.

Writing Philosophy

  • • Sports as lens for spiritual warfare
  • • Mental pressure revealing God's truth
  • • Redemption through psychological depth
  • • Competitive pressure meets faith
