Don’t Despise Small Beginnings with Dr. Michelle Bengtson


Listen Later

What did you think of this episode?

Think your audience is too small for God? Dr. Michelle Bengtson shares how our small beginnings work in the lives of our readers. Join Linda Goldfarb and Dr. Michelle as they dismiss the concept that you are only useful to God when you've made it to the top.

Dr. Michelle is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, podcaster, national and international media resource on mental health, she’s a speaker, multi-award-winning author, and lover of mountain hikes, beach strolls, and lake sunsets. Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, my friend, Dr. Michelle Bengtson.

Today we address the following questions:
1.     We’ve all heard the scriptural command, which at times might come across as a cliché, to not despise small beginnings, and yet you have found it to be true. How so?

2.     When you say to not despise small beginnings, how does that relate to the writing life?

3.     When we are writing for the Lord, what other scriptural basis should we keep in mind?

4.     It’s common for writers to have aspirations of writing the next bestseller, but you tend to focus instead on writing for an audience of One. Why is that?
