66 | You Were Never Meant to SELF-Publish — What Exodus Reveals for Kingdom Writers

What if the word “self-publish” has been quietly working against you as a Christian author this whole time?

In this episode of The Anointed Scribe, Urcelia unpacks the hidden problem with the word “self” in self-publishing — and why Christian authors were never called to write, publish, or build their author business alone. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, isolated, or stuck in your indie author journey, this one’s for you.

Through a powerful passage in Exodus 35–36 — where God commissions ordinary people to build the tabernacle and supernaturally equips them with skill, intelligence, and creativity they didn’t have before — Urcelia reveals the pattern God still uses with Christian writers and authors today: He stirs the heart, He fills with His Spirit, and He over-provides for the work.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the word “self-publish” contradicts everything the Bible teaches Christian authors about identity, calling, and dependence on God

• The surprising connection between self-ish, self-centred, self-confidence, self-care — and the way we approach self-publishing

• How God equipped Bezalel and Oholiab with supernatural skill to do work they were never trained for — and what that means for your writing

• The heart condition that blocks God’s provision in your author business

• How to shift from striving as a self-published author to thriving as a God-commissioned, Spirit-equipped, Kingdom-building author

Whether you’re a Christian fiction author, nonfiction writer, or just starting your indie publishing journey, this episode will remind you that the God who called you to write will equip you and provide everything you need to carry out that good work.
