In this episode, Heather Lea reveals the essential transition every Christian writer must make: moving from being solely creative to fully embracing the role of entrepreneur. Writing isn’t just art—it’s stewardship, responsibility, and a calling to multiply the message God has entrusted to you.

Discover how shifting your mindset allows you to integrate business with creativity, build a platform that amplifies your impact, and create a movement around your book instead of treating it as the final destination.

Business partnerships can be powerful accelerators for growth—but only when they’re built on a healthy foundation. In this episode, we dive into the three essentials every entrepreneur needs to navigate collaborations with confidence: boundaries, agreements, and polarization.

You’ll discover how clear boundaries protect your time, energy, and vision without burning bridges, why written and verbal agreements create trust and prevent messy misunderstandings, and how leaning into polarization actually strengthens partnerships by keeping both sides aligned with their values.

If you’ve ever struggled with partnerships that drained you instead of propelling you forward, this episode will give you practical tools to build connections that are both profitable and life-giving. You can contact me on Instagram via DM, or join our community at Resistandroar.com

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the Kingdom Creatives; you know who you are. If you feel that fire in your bones to speak, build, write, or launch something for the Kingdom, this one’s for you.

We’re diving deep into the journey of what I call the Roaring Bride, those of us being refined in hiddenness, shaped in the wilderness, and prepared for something greater than comfort or applause. If you've been asking, “Why am I still in this hard season?” let me remind you: the wilderness isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.

I’ll walk you through what it really looks like to submit to the process, lean into intimacy with the Lord, and discover your true roar, the one that doesn’t come from striving, but from abiding.

In the Kingdom, obedience to the Lord comes before opportunity. And character matters over charisma. 

In this episode of the Roar Rising Podcast, Heather Sudbrock speaks directly to Christian authors, podcasters, and purpose-driven entrepreneurs who feel the pull to grow their platform but wrestle with whether they’re truly ready for the weight of that responsibility.

Too many are building visibility before they’ve built the inner foundation to carry it. Heather breaks down the essential difference between charisma and character, and why obedience must come before opportunity.

If you’ve been asking questions like:

• Am I ready to lead with spiritual maturity, or am I striving for significance?

• Is this platform something God called me to build or something I’m using to fill a void?

• How do I know the difference between ambition and assignment?

This episode will give you clarity, conviction, and comfort.

You’ll walk away understanding:

• Why true impact can’t be manufactured by talent alone

• How God uses the hidden seasons to prepare you for public purpose

• The dangers of bypassing the sanctification process in pursuit of success

This message is for those who are called to create with eternal impact, not just chase influence. If you’re ready to build a message-based platform rooted in obedience, integrity, and anointing, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Listen now to realign with what matters most.

Hey Kingdom Creatives,

If you’ve ever wrestled with your identity, wondered if your story really matters, or felt stuck trying to move forward after pain—especially while building your business or ministry—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m walking you through the story of Esther—not just as inspiration, but as a Kingdom strategy. Because knowing who you are as a daughter of God changes everything about how you show up in business, how you share your message, and how you lead with purpose.

Fear, insecurity, and trauma don’t just affect your personal life—they show up in your pricing, your offers, your content, and how confidently you position yourself. But like Esther, you’ve been positioned for such a time as this—and obedience is your breakthrough.

If you’re ready to break the silence, rise up in obedience, and build what God has placed on your heart with boldness, you’re not alone. Join the movement and get equipped at ResistAndRoar.com.

Your story is the strategy.  Your voice is the vessel. And your obedience is the key. Let’s step into it—together.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful story about stepping into your God-given purpose—even when fear screams louder than faith. Join me as I unpack the story of Esther and how her obedience, even in discomfort, positioned her to fulfill a divine assignment. If you’ve been sitting on a book, an offer, or a message because it feels too big or too risky, this conversation is for you.

I’ll challenge you to stop hiding behind busyness, confront the fears that are silencing your voice, and recognize the wilderness season for what it truly is: preparation for your promised platform. You’ll also hear why community is essential, why your voice matters, and why now is the time to move—even if it’s messy. Let’s rise, roar, and walk boldly into what He’s calling us to do.
