    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!

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

    60 | Why “Next Year Will Be Different” Never Works for Christian Authors

    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 burnoutHow repeated patterns form — even when you pray and plan sincerelyThe difference between movement and obedienceWhy pressure-driven goals always lead back to fatigueWhy prayer alone doesn’t always break cycles without awarenessAnd why real transformation starts with clarity, not another planIf 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. 👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe! Send me a message!

    59 | Between What Was and What Comes Next

    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 timeHow God often works in transitions throughout ScriptureWhy fogginess, fatigue, and reflection are not signs of failureHow to release end-of-year guilt and receive grace insteadIf 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.

    58 | Why That December Pressure Isn't From God

    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 deeplyHow striving clouds discernment and steals peaceWhat Scripture actually says about rest, trust, and timingGentle, practical ways to quiet your mind when everything feels urgentThis isn’t an episode about productivity.
