Welcome to our last episode of 2025!

This year has been a whirlwind, and I'm grateful beyond measure to have you here with me. God has been doing wonders on this journey, and He's just getting started.

There’s so much to come that 2026 will feel like the Father is rolling out the red carpet to everything He's been preparing. Before we step into the new year, it’s time to slow down, meet with God, and align our writing business with His heart.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why every Christian author needs an end-of-year meeting with God — and I’m sharing a 4-step Kingdom Impact Roadmap to help you sit with Him, reflect intentionally, pray with clarity, and step boldly into 2026.

Whether you’re a Christian fiction author, a new writer in your first five years, or a creative longing for God-led direction, this episode will help you rediscover rest, renew your confidence, and position your writing for Kingdom impact.

Happy November, amazing writer! This month can be a creatively charged one if you're participating in the writer challenges that pop up around this time of year.

However, if you find yourself stressing about meeting end-of-year expectations or dreading the start of the new year, then I have some encouragement just for you today.

In today’s episode of Heart for Creatives, we’re talking about how to guard your time, protect your peace, and end the year refreshed instead of depleted.

If you’re tired of hustling your way into the new year, this episode will breathe peace, clarity, and courage into your writing journey.

We're all guilty of saying it. Myself included. But do we understand the effects that take place when we say 'I don't have time'? And more importantly, are we willing to do something about it?

In today’s episode, we’re confronting one of the biggest lies Christian writers believe: “I don’t have time to write.”

Because the truth is … time isn’t the problem. Priorities and spiritual alignment are.

We’ll explore:

• The hidden heart posture behind “I don’t have time”

• How fear and procrastination sabotage your calling

• The surprising connection between apathy and your time

• Why God cares about the desires He placed in your heart — including your writing

You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and equipped to steward your time with purpose (and peace).
