    195: Write Even When It Is Difficult with Beth Bubik

    Writer, write even when it is difficult. Even if you’re facing difficult circumstances and challenges in your life right now. Write. There will never be a moment in life when there isn’t some kind of challenge to overcome. And there will never be a moment when it’s easier to write than it is to make an excuse. But you have been called to rise up and share your testimony with those who are looking for it. Your story is needed. So write even when it is difficult. And allow your weakness to be made perfect in the One who is calling you to a greater purpose. Join Nika in this episode as she sits down with Beth Bubik to discuss her journey to authorship, how her faith helped her discover the worth within waiting, and how letting go of perfection was the key to finding success. This interview is sure to be an inspiration for anyone being called to authorship but struggle to know that their story is worth telling!    About Beth: Beth Bubik is a wife, mother, and wellness coach who helps women permanently lose weight through the lens of spiritual fasting. She believes in the power of giving up a little for a short time in order to achieve something bigger in the long term. And by delaying gratification and letting go of the idea of “being perfect,” we can pursue the Lord’s purpose for our lives with passion and clarity.

    194: Overcome Any Obstacle to Write Your Book with Abigail Brown

    You can overcome any obstacle to write your book! When you trust in the Lord’s strength rather than your own, you can overcome any obstacle standing in your way. No matter how big, no matter how messy, no matter how insurmountable it may seem. The Lord is always with us to help us overcome. And that’s just what Abigail Brown has discovered along her journey of living with dystonia. Since the age of three, Abigail has lived with a disability that has made the most simple tasks almost impossible.

    193: Write Your Book as an Offering with Nina Landis

    Write your book as an offering to the Lord and let His glory shine through you! As authors, we tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to tell our stories. But taking the focus off ourselves and our own abilities creates space for the Spirit to move through our efforts. Giving Him room to move takes the pressure off of us to make it “perfect.” Writer, it’s not about what you can do but what He can do through you. Instead of hiding from the Lord’s calling because of our shortcomings, let us use our gifts to honor Him. Join me in this episode as I sit down with Nina Landis to chat about writing as an offering to God and how we can use our books to not only touch the lives of others but bring Jesus His greatest reward!   About Nina: Nina Landis is a worship leader, pastor, and mother of four who always knew she was meant to write a book but spent most of her life resisting it. She found herself stuck in a cycle of fear, overwhelm, and resistance that stopped her from leaning into the Lord’s calling on her life. But when she finally chose to step into obedience and surrender, she discovered that what she had been running from all that time ended up becoming her greatest act of worship. Let this episode encourage and inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and into obedience! Get your copy of Nina’s book, Slow + Sacred, today! Connect with Nina over on Instagram or her website!   Timestamp: 0:00 - Intro 1:07 - About Nina & The Idea for Her Book 5:51 - From Resistance to Obedience 11:32 - Putting the Pieces Together 16:30 - The Balance of Motherhood & Authorship 26:22 - Believing in the Power of Your Story 33:39 - The Worth of Your Wage 37:47 - How to Connect with Nina 41:53 - Outro   Grab the free Pray and Print publishing guide now!
