This week on The Messenger Movement, we’re talking all things books, faith, and writing with Tracy Wainwright—a woman who wears a lot of hats. She’s written over 15 books (and counting), runs the Christian Writing Academy, and somehow still managed to homeschool her kids for 17 years. Spoiler alert: she didn’t see any of this coming—but God sure did!

In this episode, Tracy gets real about navigating writer’s block, ditching perfectionism, and finding God’s hand in every draft, chapter, and messy moment. Whether you're dreaming of writing your first book or adding another title to your shelf, this conversation will leave you ready to move on that God-given story inside you.

WHAT'S INSIDE THIS EPISODE:

● [02:25] Why Tracy calls writing “a God-given gift” (even though she was a math nerd!).

● [16:35] The biggest mistakes writers make—and how to get out of your own way.

● [25:44] What it’s really like to juggle a calling, a business, and a full life.

● [20:31] How to find your writing community and why you need one yesterday.

● [10:17] Tracy’s mission to flood the world with excellent, Kingdom-focused books.
