    2025/08/01

    Send me a message!

    In this powerful episode, I share a recent experience that taught me the difference between worldly success and Kingdom prosperity. Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is say no to a good opportunity when it conflicts with God's calling on your life.

    Here's what you'll discover:

    • How to recognize when an opportunity isn't aligned with your purpose
    • The biblical wisdom behind protecting your anointing (using Jesus' parable of the ten virgins)
    • Why saying "no" to good things can position you for God's best
    • The difference between worldly security and Kingdom prosperity
    • Two practical principles for staying spiritually ready: "remain anointed" and "protect your purpose"

    Perfect for Christian authors who:

    • Struggle with decision-making in their writing career
    • Feel pressure to say yes to every opportunity
    • Want to align their business decisions with their faith
    • Need wisdom for discerning God's will vs. worldly success

    Sometimes the most prosperous thing you can do is say no.

    Join me as we explore what it means to steward your calling well, protect your anointing, and trust God's timing—even when the world tells you to grab every door that opens.

    2025/07/25

    Send me a message!

    Always feeling like you're miles behind other authors?

    If you've ever felt that sinking pit in your stomach watching other writers thrive while your own progress feels painfully slow, this episode is for you.

    Maybe it's seeing another author's dream vacation pics funded by book sales, or watching someone who started writing years after you already building a thriving author business. Maybe it's the constant comparison that leaves you wondering: "Am I falling behind in my calling?"

    In this deeply encouraging episode, I'm challenging the narrative that you're "behind" and sharing why your slower season might actually mean you're exactly where God wants you to be.

    You'll discover:

    • Why what the world calls delay, God often calls development
    • The hidden purpose behind your waiting season as a Christian author
    • How to stop measuring your obedience by outcomes
    • Practical ways to celebrate your own progress instead of comparing timelines
    • Why God's timing for your breakthrough is always perfect

    Plus, I'm sharing a personal story about the night I almost quit writing and the question God asked me that changed everything!

    If you're tired of feeling behind and ready to find peace in God's timing for your author journey, this episode will shift your entire perspective.

    Send me a message!

    Are you tired of feeling like you have to perform, pretend, or project success just to be taken seriously as a Christian author?

    In this episode, I open up about the moment I hit burnout trying to “fake it till I made it”—and how God lovingly showed me a better way. We’ll unpack the subtle ways counterfeit confidence creeps into our writing lives through impostor syndrome, platform pressure, and financial fear—and how to replace it with bold, Spirit-led authenticity instead.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why worldly success strategies leave you drained and discouraged
    • What Scripture says about confidence, credibility, and calling
    • The 5 powerful steps to stop faking and start “faithing it”
    • How to build a writing life rooted in purpose, not performance

    🎧 Grab your Bible, notebook, and a quiet space—this one’s packed with truth and freedom!

  • 35 | 5 Reasons Why Your Christian Book Isn't Selling
    2025/07/11

    Send me a message!

    You wrote the book God called you to write…

    But the sales aren’t coming. And now you're quietly asking the questions you’re afraid to say out loud:

    “Did I hear God wrong? Did I fail? Did He forget about me?”

    That crushing disappointment after obedience is real—and you’re not alone in feeling it.

    You followed the nudge. You poured your heart into the words. You hit publish in faith.

    And now… crickets. The dashboard becomes a daily reminder of discouragement. Your prayers feel dry. Your hope feels heavy.

    Maybe you’re tweaking your blurb for the fifteenth time.

    Maybe you’re second-guessing your cover, your calling—or both.

    Maybe you've started protecting your heart from expecting anything at all... because hoping hurts when nothing changes.

    In this raw and faith-filled episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 5 biblical truths that have anchored me in my own seasons of invisible obedience and frustrated faith. These aren’t just encouragements—they’re lifelines for weary Christian writers.

    Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

    ✅ Why God called you to plant, not perform

    ✅ What to do when your results don’t match your obedience

    ✅ How to discern between delay and divine refinement

    ✅ What Scripture really says about fruitfulness and calling

    ✅ And why your message still matters—even when it feels invisible

    If you're sitting in that uncomfortable space between obedience and outcome, this conversation will remind you of this powerful truth:

    Your calling isn’t dependent on your sales numbers.

    It’s backed by God’s faithfulness to complete what He starts.

    🎧 Press play and let’s realign your heart with truth—and renew your hope, one promise at a time.

    Tired of choosing between book sales and your faith? This episode changes everything.

    Every Christian author faces the same brutal tension: You want to sell more books and build a profitable author business, but you refuse to compromise your values or become another pushy marketer screaming "buy my book."

    What if I told you that's a false choice?

    In this episode, I'm revealing my personal top 5 marketing strategies that have generated real results over my 8 years of indie publishing—strategies that actually work BETTER because they're rooted in Kingdom principles, not worldly tactics.

    • Why "email marketing with soul" gets higher open rates than traditional sales pitches
    • The lead magnet strategy that attracts loyal readers (not freebie hunters)
    • How to use social media without feeling like a desperate salesperson
    • Why consistent presence beats launch panic every single time
    • The faith-infused launch approach that transforms sales events into ministry opportunities

    Plus: The 3 discernment questions that will help you choose which strategies align with YOUR calling (because what works for others might not be God's best for you).

  • 33 | When Book Sales Hijack Your Joy: 4 Steps to Take Back Control
    2025/06/27

    Send me a message!

    Are you letting Amazon measure your anointing? Is your joy tied to a royalty report?

    Do you find yourself checking your KDP dashboard multiple times a day—and letting the numbers determine your confidence, peace, or even your calling?

    In this raw and honest episode, I invite you into a heart-level conversation about the hidden emotional toll of tracking sales performance. If your mood rises and falls with your KDP stats, this is your wake-up call—and your encouragement.

    We’ll explore why so many Christian writers unknowingly base their worth on what’s selling (or not), how pride can wear the mask of productivity, and why true freedom begins when we surrender the refresh button and embrace God's definition of success.

    You'll leave with a practical mindset reset, biblical perspective, and a 4-step dashboard detox plan that will help you write from freedom—not for it.

    Let’s break the cycle together.
