How can you turn your ideas into a book?

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastors Chris Hodges and Matt Minor sit down with Dudley Delffs, a bestselling author, editor, and publishing expert, to discuss the process of writing, publishing, and using books as tools for leadership and ministry. Many leaders feel called to write but don’t know where to start—this conversation breaks down the step-by-step journey from idea to published book.

From structuring your message and finding your writing rhythm to deciding between traditional publishing and self-publishing, we cover the key elements every aspiring author needs to know. We also explore how to refine your ideas, work with editors, and use books to disciple and equip others beyond your immediate reach.

Whether you’re a pastor, business leader, or creative, this episode is packed with practical insights and real-world advice to help you write with clarity and purpose.
