Writing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this Writing Room conversation, Bob Goff, Kimberly Stuart, and Allison Trowbridge talk about what actually helps, focusing on one reader, one clear idea, and the courage to start messy and figure it out as you go. Along the way, Allie shares how her work with Copper Books is helping authors navigate the publishing process in a more thoughtful, supported way.

If you’ve been thinking about writing a book but aren’t sure where to begin, this episode is a great place to start. And if you’re ready to take a step further, Allie is hosting a Book Fair in Nashville on May 8, a one-day gathering designed to help aspiring authors understand the full journey from idea to publication and connect with others doing the same.

Life isn’t either joy or hardship, it’s often both at the same time. In this episode, Bob and Liz Bohannon talk about how to stay grounded in the middle of it all by building deep, authentic relationships. They share why vulnerability matters, how to find safe people, and what it looks like to be the kind of friend you’re hoping to have. It’s a thoughtful, encouraging conversation about showing up fully and helping others do the same.

Whether you’re knee deep in a book project or still trying to find your starting point, Bob and Kim would love to help you take the next step. Join them for a Writer's Workshop at The Oaks or learn more about Writing Coaching.

This week in The Writing Room, Bob and Kimberly sit down with Jason VanRuler to talk about what it looks like to stop overthinking and start writing.

They cover everything from building simple frameworks that hold your ideas together to knowing when it’s time to stop researching and just begin. Jason shares how to capture the stories that matter, find your own voice, and let the process unfold in a way that actually works for you.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect plan or the right moment to start your book, this might be the nudge you need. Turns out, sometimes the best way forward is just to put it down on paper and see what happens next.

Everybody’s got a story, we just don’t always see the whole thing. My friend Christy Nockels joined me to talk about creativity, raising kids, and being an introvert in a pretty noisy world. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to keep up or figure out your next step, this one might feel like a deep breath.

In this episode, Bob sits down with Alex Seeley to talk about belonging, belief, and the kind of faith that actually changes us. Alex shares her story of growing up in a complicated home, finding Jesus at a young age, and discovering the presence of the Holy Spirit as a steady and personal guide through it all.

Together, they explore why we do not have to fix people to love them, why belonging often comes before belief, and how small, consistent steps can shape a life of lasting faith. Alex also shares about her new book, The Divine Counselor, and the reality of having a constant source of wisdom, peace, and direction available to us.

In this conversation, Bob sits down with singer, author, and friend Tasha Layton to talk about courage, fear, and what it looks like to keep moving forward when life gets messy. Tasha shares the story behind her song Meet Me in the Valley and the surprising decision to spend three days alone in Death Valley with nothing but prayer requests, a tent, and a lot of honesty about what she was feeling.

Together they talk about why we can’t go around the hard parts of life, why emotions are often roadmaps instead of problems, and how remembering who we are can help us take the next courageous step forward.
