Urcelia Teixeira | Christian Author | Christian Author Coach & Mindset Mentor

A weekly faith-based podcast for Christian authors who want breakthrough in their author business without compromising their faith or losing their joy. Are you exhausted from chasing book sales, working harder but seeing fewer results, or constantly comparing yourself to other Christian writers? Do you feel stuck, spiritually drained, or quietly wondering if you’ll ever “make it”—or if God is even still in this with you? I’ve been there. I built a bestselling Christian author business that left me empty, exhausted, and far from God. The metrics consumed me. The hustle drained me. The striving nearly broke me. Then God showed me The Revive to Thrive Way™. Hosted by Urcelia Teixeira—multi-published, award-winning Christian author and author mentor—the Anointed Scribe podcast reveals how God transformed my exhausting hustle into a joy-filled, purpose-driven author business that honors Him and sustains my income. Each week, we explore how faith, mindset, and obedience intersect with the practical realities of building an author business, including: • Why hustle-driven marketing strategies often leave Christian authors burned out—and what to do instead• How to grow your platform with integrity, clarity, and peace (without feeling fake or salesy)• Kingdom principles that increase both impact and income—without sacrificing your well-being• Faith-based mindset shifts that restore joy, rebuild confidence, and renew your vision • The key transformations that took me from striving to thriving as a Christian author No fluff. No religious platitudes. Just raw truth, biblical foundations, and practical tools you can apply right away.

    70 | Kingdom Writer: Stop Fixing Your Book Marketing Until You've Fixed This First

    Put your hand up if you dread your book marketing! If you dread having to send out a newsletter because you have no idea what to say. Or if it's just easier to do what other authors are doing because frankly you have no idea what you should be doing. This episode is for you. Because in today's episode I'm naming the three root causes that make book marketing feel impossible for most Christian authors — and none of them have anything to do with your cover, your blurb, or your ads. Because here's what I've learned the hard way: you can't build a thriving author business on an unstable foundation. And until the foundation is sorted, no novel marketing strategy in the world is going to hold. If you've ever wondered why marketing your books feels like the last thing you want to sit down and do — and why that has nothing to do with how much you love writing, or God — click that play button, friend. I can't wait to share what God taught me about why I hated book marketing!

    69 | The Difference Between a Waiting Season and a Stuck Season

    Are you in a waiting season — or are you actually stuck? These two things can look identical from the outside, but they feel completely different on the inside — and they require completely different responses. In today's episode, I'm sharing three honest questions that will help you tell the difference. Because for a lot of Christian authors, the language of "waiting on God" has quietly become permission to stay exactly where they are — circling the same mountain, month after month, wondering why nothing is changing. This isn't a lack of faith episode. It's a wake-up-with-love episode. And if something in your author business has felt heavy, flat, or stuck for longer than feels right — this one is for you. 🔥 The Revive to Thrive Way™ early bird price closes midnight 31st March — anointedscribe.com/revivetothrive 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!

    68 | What I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Nearly Gave Up

    This is my backstory — and it's something I've never shared before. Not like this. In today's episode I'm bearing it all — the full, raw story of just how depressed and desperate I was two and a half years ago. Desperate enough to take out a credit card, go into debt, and fly halfway across the world — twice — hoping someone in a conference room would finally tell me what I was missing. I had answered God's call. Pivoted my entire career in obedience. Won the award. And I was still failing. Or at least, that's what it felt like. This is the story of what five years of building my author business the wrong way actually looked and felt like — and the eleven words God said to me on a beach in Florida that changed everything. If you've felt alone in this author journey and wondered what you're missing — this one's for you.  🔥 The Revive to Thrive Way™ is now open — head to https://anointedscribe.com/revivetothrive to find out more. 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!

    67 | What Kingdom Writers Get Wrong About Their Writing Life

    Have you ever held a belief about your author life that felt completely spiritual… but quietly kept you from moving forward? In today's episode, I unpack three beliefs I've seen quietly circulating among Kingdom writers — beliefs that come from sincere, God-honouring hearts, but that might be getting in the way of the author life God actually intended for you. Drawing from personal experience and scripture, this episode explores the difference between passive waiting and active trust, why the craft treadmill isn't always the answer, and why the most visible writers in your space probably have far less figured out than you think. No judgment here. Just one author friend sitting across the table from another — with honesty and compassion, saying — hey, I recognize that. I lived there. And here's what I learned on the other side. And if you're ready to change up your author life, check out the Revive to Thrive Way™ here. 📌 Don't miss next week's episode — something significant is coming for Kingdom writers who are ready for a shift. 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!

    66 | You Were Never Meant to SELF-Publish — What Exodus Reveals for Kingdom Writers

    What if the word “self-publish” has been quietly working against you as a Christian author this whole time? In this episode of The Anointed Scribe, Urcelia unpacks the hidden problem with the word “self” in self-publishing — and why Christian authors were never called to write, publish, or build their author business alone. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, isolated, or stuck in your indie author journey, this one’s for you. Through a powerful passage in Exodus 35–36 — where God commissions ordinary people to build the tabernacle and supernaturally equips them with skill, intelligence, and creativity they didn’t have before — Urcelia reveals the pattern God still uses with Christian writers and authors today: He stirs the heart, He fills with His Spirit, and He over-provides for the work. In this episode, you’ll discover: • Why the word “self-publish” contradicts everything the Bible teaches Christian authors about identity, calling, and dependence on God • The surprising connection between self-ish, self-centred, self-confidence, self-care — and the way we approach self-publishing • How God equipped Bezalel and Oholiab with supernatural skill to do work they were never trained for — and what that means for your writing • The heart condition that blocks God’s provision in your author business • How to shift from striving as a self-published author to thriving as a God-commissioned, Spirit-equipped, Kingdom-building author Whether you’re a Christian fiction author, nonfiction writer, or just starting your indie publishing journey, this episode will remind you that the God who called you to write will equip you and provide everything you need to carry out that good work. Scriptures referenced: Galatians 2:20, John 15:4, Philippians 1:6, 1 Timothy 6:18, Exodus 35:25–36:7, Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 6:33, 2 Corinthians 9:8 📌 Resources mentioned: • The Revive to Thrive Way™ — Launching soon! 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!

    65 | 5 Signs Another Christian Writer's Marketing Strategy Isn't Right for You

    Ever tried a marketing strategy because it was working for someone else… only to feel drained, behind, and totally out of your depth a few weeks later? Yep. Been there. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 clear signs a marketing strategy might not be right for you — even if it’s producing results for another Christian writer. Because the online author world is loud, and it’s so easy to start chasing what’s “working”… instead of discerning what’s actually yours in this season. We’ll talk about anxiety, comparison, dread, feeling inauthentic, and the BIG one: when marketing starts pulling you away from writing. I’ll also share a simple filter I call The Peace Test so you can stop second-guessing every decision and start moving forward with clarity (and peace). If you’re a Christian writer trying to grow your author platform, market your books, build your email list, and do it in a way that doesn’t steal your peace — you’re in the right place. 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!
