What are some of the lies you believe as a Christian writer? How about things like:

* I have nothing to offer

* God can’t use me

* No one will read what I write

* It’s all been written before by someone better

In this episode, we tackle those lies head-on. The most effective lies have an element of truth. If we try to ignore or minimize that truth, then the lie will still hold its power. But when we acknowledge what is true and then counter the rest of the lie with God’s Word, then we are free to serve God and honor Him with our writing.
