Writers Circle

God's Mercy in the Mess with Faith Eury Cho


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like there's no time to write? Life is busy. As we strive to steward the many aspects of our lives一school, kids, work, church, and family一writing often gets pushed to the backburner.

This leads many to conclude: "I'm just not meant to write in this season." While that may be true, perhaps our expectations about the writing life are misinformed. The average author doesn't take a yearly retreat in some quaint, exotic location. Instead, they write from the trenches of everyday life. Right in the middle of the mess.

What if God is calling you to write, right where you are? What if your limited bandwidth, when entrusted to him, is more than enough? What if your limits are a chance to see God work through you?

In this episode, pastor, speaker, and author Faith Eury Cho shares the story of writing her first book, Experiencing Friendship with God. Spoiler: she didn't escape to a cabin in the woods for a month. Instead, she wrote in the midst of her life as a mother, wife, and leader. She explains to senior editor Will Parker Anderson:

  • How to write even when it feels like there's no time

  • What she learned as a first-time author

  • How to connect with readers in a deep way

  • How to listen for God's voice as you write

  • How to follow God's leading, not just industry trends

For every writer that feels strapped for time, burned out, or unproductive, this episode is for you. By the end of this conversation, you'll be reminded that God sees you and the words you write. Nothing is wasted. In fact, life's messiest moments are the very place God tends to produce the sweetest fruit.
