Ep 78 // Are You Supposed to Write a Book? Seven Practical Steps To Create Your Book Blueprint with Jesse Rivas

Do you have a message burning inside that needs to get out to the world in order to bless, serve, entertain, challenge, and/or encourage more people? Maybe it’s time for you to WRITE the book and LIVE the message in order to CHANGE the world.

Join this conversation with Jesse Rivas of Above the Sun media to discover your own message and calling. 

Jesse is called to father a generation of creative reformers who transform culture through their wholehearted passion. Through coaching, mentoring, and teaching, he empowers people to agree with their own epic identity so that together they can co-labor with God to bring His plans and purposes for this world.

Nuggets of wisdom, guidance, and testimony this episode: 

• What is your story and why is it important to tell it?

• What are your TOP three movies? What you’re attracted to in movies helps inform your epic identity.

• Your first book is often the first step toward changing the world!

• Write the book – then LIVE the message

• How/why he started his book coaching/media agency

• How to overcome imposter syndrome when you feel like there’s nothing new under the sun so who would pay attention to what you have to say

The host, Megan Nilsen, is a Kingdom life coach, author, and speaker who helps God’s people align with God’s voice and get activated to live into their divine destiny! 

Quotable Quotes from Jesse:

“You can publish books for free but they’re not gonna be good.”

“All Christians are co-creators. In what capacity do you want to change the world?”

“You have to equally hold the land of ‘what is’ and the land of ‘what could be.’”

“If you can answer the seven questions I propose, then I believe you can change the world through a book.”
