The Daily Writer

In the faith community, there is a lot of talk about the concept of calling. Most Christian leaders have experienced some type of calling toward their work.

Most writers feel this way about their work, too. You probably feel some type of nudge or pull toward your creative work. When we do the work to fulfill our calling, we have a deep sense of joy and we also serve others with our gifts.

On this episode, you’ll recognize why you should never run from your calling to continue to learn, grow, and serve others as a writer.

As writers, there is a constant pressure to conform to what we think others want from us.

In the midst of trying to find your own voice, it is easy to get so enamored with other people we admire that we forget what made them successful in the first place: they found their unique voice and the topics they cared most about, and then they kept working at it until they carved out their own niche.

You don’t need to mimic anyone else or try to copy their style. You have your own unique perspective and identity that the world needs to hear.

On this episode, Kent shares why your individual voice is so compelling and why you should never apologize for what you love.

There is a part of each one of us that wants to be admired. We want to be respected. One way we do this as writers is by trying to appear smart. We use big words and sometimes throw in obscure references in the hopes that others will think we are accomplished and intelligent.

Sometimes big words are necessary, of course, depending on the context. However, for the most part, the best writing is simple, clear, and direct.

On this episode, you’ll recognize that the most powerful way to communicate is with clarity and simplicity, instead of impressive words and complex ideas.

We all have regrets. We all do stupid things and waste vast amounts of time we wish we had back. It’s important to be aware of this, and yet we also need to forgive ourselves so we can move on. Regret is a powerful obstacle that can prevent us from doing our best work.

You can’t go back and change the past. But you can live with more intentionality and purpose from this day forward.

On this episode, you’ll be encouraged to forgive yourself for past mistakes, so you can move forward with resolve, instead of being held back by regret.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a reset button to go back and re-do past mistakes? 

Unfortunately, you only have one life. We each have a limited number of days. This ay you’re living won’t come around again. What will you do with this day you have been given, which will slip through your hands so quickly, and which you can never get back again?

On this episode, you’ll be emboldened to seize each day, so you can make the most of the life you’ve been given.

It’s not unusual for writers to remain hidden. There is something about writing that attracts people who don’t want to be on camera, on stage, or behind a microphone.

Even though you might feel more comfortable staying hidden, what would it feel like to challenge yourself and put your voice and face out into the world a little more? Is there perhaps something you’re missing by indulging your shyness?

On this episode, you’ll be emboldened to step outside of your comfort zone.

One of the most famous lines from Shakespeare’s Hamlet is “To be or not to be, that is the question.” More than a line in a famous play, it’s also the central idea of the writer’s life.

Being is an entirely different state than wanting. Almost everyone wants to be a writer . . . but far fewer people do the work of being a writer.

On this episode, you’ll discover that your identity as a writer is not based on your desire—it’s based on your action.

Edward Gibbon was one of the most famous historians of all time. As the author of the six-volume set, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he showed the world that history could be informative and entertaining, all while making the ancient world accessible to the contemporary reader.

When he started work on the books, he did not necessarily have this end goal in mind. In fact, he once said, “Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.”

On this episode, Kent shares that the key to your success as a writer is not your formal education, your title, or the approval of others—it’s your resolve to just do it.
