60 | Why “Next Year Will Be Different” Never Works for Christian Authors

Send me a message!

It’s the start of a brand-new year.

New goals. New planners. New promises we’re making to ourselves — again.

“This year will be different.”

“I’ll be more disciplined.”

“I’ll finally stay consistent.”

And yet, if we’re honest, many Christian authors have said these same things before… only to find themselves back in the same place by March.

In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we talk about why good intentions rarely lead to lasting change — especially in your author business.

Because the issue is rarely effort, discipline, or motivation.

It’s often the foundation you’re building on.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why January doesn’t automatically reset exhaustion or burnout
• How repeated patterns form — even when you pray and plan sincerely
• The difference between movement and obedience
• Why pressure-driven goals always lead back to fatigue
• Why prayer alone doesn’t always break cycles without awareness
• And why real transformation starts with clarity, not another plan

If your writing, marketing, or growth feels heavier than it should — even though you’ve done the work and stayed faithful — this episode will help you understand why.

✨ Need clarity before setting another goal?

If your author business isn’t working the way it should — despite your effort and faithfulness — I created a short clarity quiz to help you discern what’s actually creating friction right now.

This isn’t about fixing you or trying harder.

It’s about understanding whether the issue is strategy — or order.

Later this month, I’ll be opening a space for Christian authors who sense a deeper shift is needed — not another reset, but a rebuilding from the inside out.

I’ll share more when the time is right.

For now, start with clarity.

If you’ve done the work — writing, marketing, planning, praying — but things still feel heavier than they should, I created a short clarity quiz to help you discern what’s actually creating friction right now.

This isn’t about fixing you or trying harder.
