Anointed Scribe | Author Business Growth for Christian Authors, God’s Way episodes

  • 48 | Christian Writing Career: Are You Writing For God or With God?

    You dedicate your books to God, but does your writing process still feel like striving? What if your daily writing sessions could become sacred encounters where you meet with Him—not just tasks you're trying to complete for Him?

    In this episode, we're exploring the profound difference between writing for God and writing with God. Discover how to transform your writing from performance-driven work into an act of worship, where the process itself becomes the offering.

    You'll learn five practical, Spirit-led practices to make your writing sessions sacred: starting with stillness instead of strategy, writing one sentence as an offering, releasing outcomes before you write, turning your editing into prayer, and ending with gratitude instead of assessment.

    If you're tired of the anxiety, comparison, and pressure that comes with trying to create something "worthy" of God, this message will shift everything. Learn how to approach your books as altars—places where you lay down your striving and simply abide with Him.

    Stop performing. Start communing. Your writing is about to become worship.

  • 45 | How to Write Like God Signs Your Royalty Checks (Not Amazon!)

    What if the secret to thriving as a Christian author isn’t hustling harder… but learning to rest?

    In this episode, I share a very real lesson God is teaching me right now in a season of transition: how to trust Him as my ultimate provider—even when deadlines slip, income feels uncertain, and the pressure to keep producing is louder than ever.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt for slowing down, feared losing momentum when life pulls you away from the desk, or wondered how rest fits into the calling to write, this episode is for you.

    Lean in as we explore what it looks like to write like God signs your royalty checks—not Amazon, not readers, not algorithms. Because when you trust Him with your author journey, you’ll discover that rest isn’t wasted time—it’s sacred ground where God does His deepest work.

  • 44 | Why Other Authors' Success Triggers You—The Biblical Cure

    If other authors' success feels like evidence of your failure, this episode will change everything.

    In this raw and honest conversation, I'm confessing my own struggle with author envy and sharing the biblical breakthrough that transformed jealousy into genuine celebration. We'll expose why comparison is particularly toxic in Kingdom work and how it's actually keeping you from the very calling God has for YOUR life.

    You'll discover:

    • Why you can't seem to celebrate others (hint: it's deeper than jealousy)
    • The difference between godly inspiration and worldly competition
    • My personal strategy for turning envy into intercession (this changed everything)
    • How to genuinely rejoice when others get the breakthrough you're praying for
    • Why another author's success can never threaten your God-ordained assignment

    Plus, I'll share the one prayer that broke my comparison addiction and the specific practice that helped me build a Kingdom-minded author community instead of a competitive network.

    If you're tired of feeling triggered by success stories, exhausted from comparing your chapter 3 to their chapter 30, and ready to break free from the comparison trap once and for all—this episode is your answer.

  • 43 | Do Low Book Sales Mean You're Less Anointed

    Why do we feel confident and "anointed" when book sales soar, but question our calling when they crash? If you've ever let your royalty report determine your confidence as a Kingdom writer, I have too—and you're not broken. You're human.

    But here's the truth: Your anointing validated you before you ever sold a single book. The confidence you're searching for in those sales numbers? You already carry it in the calling God placed on your life.

    In this episode, we're diving deep into why we trade our anointing for the false confidence of earnings—and how to break free. We'll unpack:

    • Why we confuse financial abundance with God's approval (and what Scripture really says about it)
    • The difference between operating in anointing versus striving for validation
    • How to step into abundance without making money your idol
    • Four powerful shifts to anchor your confidence in your calling, not your cash flow
    • What it looks like to keep writing boldly when bills are due and sales are down
    • Practical boundaries for when anointing and abundance do align

    This isn't about choosing between spiritual calling and financial success—it's about learning to steward both without letting either become your master. It's about discovering that your anointing IS your abundance, and that's the most liberating truth you'll ever embrace as a Kingdom writer.

    So if you're tired of riding the emotional rollercoaster of sales-based confidence, grab your journal, settle in, and let's talk about how to root your identity where it belongs—in your irrevocable, unshakeable, dashboard-independent anointing.

  • 42 | How to Hear God's Voice in Your Author Business

    Has "hearing from God" about your author business ever led you straight into debt, disappointment, or confusion?

    You prayed about that expensive marketing package. You fasted over the decision to quit your job and write full-time. You were absolutely certain God was opening that door. But months later, you're broke, discouraged, and wondering how you could have been so wrong about hearing His voice.

    The crushing truth? Sometimes what we think is God's voice is actually our own desperation, the enemy's deception, or wishful thinking dressed up in spiritual language. And when every business decision feels "spiritual," the stakes—and potential for mistakes—skyrocket.

    In this episode, discover the 5 biblical tests that distinguish God's true voice from everything else competing for your attention. Learn to identify the four specific deceptions that target Christian authors. Plus, understand the critical difference between legitimate business deadlines and manipulative urgency tactics that drown out God's voice.

    You'll learn:

    • The Scripture Test that immediately exposes counterfeit "words from God"
    • Why mixed results from the 5 tests actually mean something important
    • How to recognize when "holy urgency" is actually human panic
    • The difference between God's peace and emotional excitement
    • Why God keeps some platforms small (and it's not punishment)
    • When deadlines are legitimate vs. when they're manipulation

    Stop building your author business on misheard whispers. Learn to recognize the Good Shepherd's voice with confidence.

  • 41 | The Silent Drift That Pulls Christian Authors Away from God’s Purpose

    As Christian authors, we start writing with pure hearts—longing to serve God and encourage others. But somewhere along the way, the focus can quietly shift. Book rankings, email stats, and social media engagement begin to matter more than sitting with God. Before we realize it, our calling feels more like a career, and ministry starts looking like marketing.

    In this episode of The Anointed Scribe Podcast, I open up about the silent drift that can pull Christian authors away from God’s purpose. Through my own vulnerable story and biblical encouragement, I share how God gently corrected my course—and how you, too, can realign your writing with His heart.

    ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • The subtle pitfall every Christian author must guard against
    • Why even “successful” seasons can feel empty when purpose drifts
    • Practical questions to help you discern God’s purpose in your writing
    • How to exchange striving for Spirit-led creativity and peace

    If your writing has started to feel heavy, this conversation will help you return to the joy of creating with God and rediscover the simplicity of why He called you to write in the first place.

    • The biblical principles that helped me escape each pattern

  • 39 | Why I Don't Use the Enneagram to Build My Writing Life

    Have you ever taken the Enneagram test, labeled yourself a Type 3 or Type 9, and tried to use it to grow your writing career?

    I used to think it could help me become a better, more productive Christian author—until I dug deeper and realized just how misaligned it is with biblical truth.

    In this episode, I’m sharing why I no longer use the Enneagram in my author journey and why I believe it could be pulling us away from who God says we are. We’ll look at its origins, how it shapes identity through the lens of self over Scripture, and why that matters if you're a writer called to serve the Kingdom.

    Here’s what I unpack in this episode:

    • Why personality labels like “Enneagram 4” or “Type 1” can keep you stuck in false identity
    • How the process of sanctification in Christ reshapes who we are—daily
    • The difference between automatic writing and writing in the Spirit
    • And a call to stop trying to “fix” yourself with worldly frameworks, and start walking in the truth that you are an anointed scribe, called and equipped by God

    If you’ve been relying on tools like the Enneagram to guide your writing journey, I hope this episode challenges and encourages you to root your identity in the Word, not a number.

    Let’s talk about what it really means to write with purpose, power, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
