  • 63 | How Christian Authors Can Look at Their Book Sales Without Losing Their Faith
    2026/01/23

    You've heard it a thousand times: "Know your numbers." But what happens when looking at your KDP dashboard makes your stomach drop?

    In this episode, I'm sharing what changed everything for me: how to measure success as a Christian author in a way that keeps you grounded, faithful, and free - without ignoring the data that actually matters.

    Because the truth is, your numbers DO matter. But the way you've been looking at them? That might be the very thing keeping you stuck.

    If you're tired of letting your dashboard define your worth and your calling, this episode is for you.

  • 62 | Why Your Book Sales Drop After the Holidays And What Christian Authors Can Do About It
    2026/01/16

    Your book sales were great during the holidays—and then January hit and everything stopped. Now you're panicking, wondering if you did something wrong or if this is a sign you should quit.

    Take a breath. This post-holiday sales slump happens to almost every author, and once you understand why, you can stop spiraling and start planning strategically.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down:

    • The four real reasons your book sales tank after the holidays (hint: it's not you)
    • What January sales do NOT mean about your books, your business, or your calling
    • The biggest mistakes Christian authors make during sales slumps—and how to avoid them
    • Six practical strategies to use this season wisely instead of just surviving it
    • How to tell the difference between a seasonal dip and a real problem that needs addressing
    • The faith perspective that will help you stop white-knuckling results and start trusting the process

    If you're staring at your dashboard right now feeling discouraged, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening, protect your peace, and make wise decisions that won't hurt your business in February.

    This episode is for you if:

    • Your holiday sales were strong but January tanked
    • You're tempted to slash prices or make desperate decisions
    • You're wondering if God is closing doors through your sales numbers
    • You need practical wisdom (not just "pray harder") for navigating slow seasons

    The harvest isn't measured in a single month. Let's talk about how to stay steady, stay faithful, and actually use this season to your advantage.

  • 61 | When You’ve Prayed for Breakthrough — and Nothing Seems to Change
    2026/01/09

    You’ve prayed. You’ve believed. You’ve stayed faithful. And yet… nothing seems to be shifting.

    If your calling feels heavier than it should —

    If your growth feels slower than it makes sense —

    If you’ve been quietly wondering why your prayers haven’t changed your circumstances…

    This episode may finally put language to what your spirit has been sensing.

    This is not a productivity talk.

    It’s not a “try harder” message.

    And it’s not another motivation push.

    This is a gentle, Spirit-led interruption for Christian authors.

    Inside this episode, we explore:

    • How God often answers prayers without us knowing it

    • What the quiet waiting season is actually preparing you for

    • The hidden work God may be doing beneath your prayers

    • And how to begin partnering intentionally with what He’s building in you now

    🎧 Press play if:

    • You’ve prayed for breakthrough but still feel stalled

    • You’re tired of circling the same place year after year

    • You sense God may be preparing you for something — but you don’t know what

    • You’re ready to stop waiting passively and start partnering intentionally

  • 60 | Why “Next Year Will Be Different” Never Works for Christian Authors
    2026/01/02

    It’s the start of a brand-new year.

    New goals. New planners. New promises we’re making to ourselves — again.

    “This year will be different.”

    “I’ll be more disciplined.”

    “I’ll finally stay consistent.”

    And yet, if we’re honest, many Christian authors have said these same things before… only to find themselves back in the same place by March.

    In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we talk about why good intentions rarely lead to lasting change — especially in your author business.

    Because the issue is rarely effort, discipline, or motivation.

    It’s often the foundation you’re building on.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    • Why January doesn’t automatically reset exhaustion or burnout
    • How repeated patterns form — even when you pray and plan sincerely
    • The difference between movement and obedience
    • Why pressure-driven goals always lead back to fatigue
    • Why prayer alone doesn’t always break cycles without awareness
    • And why real transformation starts with clarity, not another plan

    If your writing, marketing, or growth feels heavier than it should — even though you’ve done the work and stayed faithful — this episode will help you understand why.

    Need clarity before setting another goal?

    If your author business isn’t working the way it should — despite your effort and faithfulness — I created a short clarity quiz to help you discern what’s actually creating friction right now.

    This isn’t about fixing you or trying harder.

    It’s about understanding whether the issue is strategy — or order.

    👉 Take the clarity quiz here:

    https://bit.ly/AnointedScribe-Quiz

    Later this month, I’ll be opening a space for Christian authors who sense a deeper shift is needed — not another reset, but a rebuilding from the inside out.

    I’ll share more when the time is right.

    For now, start with clarity.

  • 59 | Between What Was and What Comes Next
    2025/12/26

    The days between Christmas and the new year can feel strangely disorienting.

    The celebration is over.

    The calendar hasn’t reset.

    And there’s a quiet pressure to start planning — even when your heart isn’t ready.

    In this gentle, pastoral episode of Anointed Scribe, we’re honoring the in-between space — the pause between what was and what comes next. This is not a teaching episode or a call to action. It’s an invitation to breathe, to rest without guilt, and to trust that God is present even when nothing feels clear.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why the in-between is not wasted time — but inhabited time
    • How God often works in transitions throughout Scripture
    • Why fogginess, fatigue, and reflection are not signs of failure
    • How to release end-of-year guilt and receive grace instead

    If you’re feeling unmotivated, emotionally tender, or unsure what to do next, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need to decide anything right now.

    If you sense there may be something deeper underneath your exhaustion or restlessness, you’re invited to take the clarity quiz: Why Your Author Business Isn’t Working the Way It Should

  • 58 | Why That December Pressure Isn't From God
    2025/12/19

    As the year comes to a close, many Christian authors feel an unspoken pressure — to finish, to plan, to prove that this year mattered.

    But what if that pressure isn’t from God at all?

    In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we’re talking about the kind of end-of-year urgency that masquerades as responsibility but quietly fuels striving, anxiety, and burnout. If your mind feels noisy, your to-do list feels heavy, or rest feels like something you have to earn, this conversation is for you.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why pressure is not God’s voice — even when things matter deeply
    • How striving clouds discernment and steals peace
    • What Scripture actually says about rest, trust, and timing
    • Gentle, practical ways to quiet your mind when everything feels urgent

    This isn’t an episode about productivity.

    It’s about presence. Pace. And releasing what was never yours to carry.

    Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

    🖋️ A deeper look at the real source of that “What’s the point?” feeling

    🖋️ The one thing Christian authors often skip when they rush into goal-setting

    🖋️ Why your effort may not be showing visible fruit yet—and what that actually means

    🖋️ A fresh, faith-filled shift that can change how you step into 2026

    This isn’t a pep talk or productivity lecture. It’s a heart reset—one that brings clarity, peace, and grounded direction for the year ahead.

    You’ll also hear about two resources designed to help you move forward with intention:
