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.

The days between Christmas and the new year can feel strangely disorienting.

The celebration is over.

The calendar hasn’t reset.

And there’s a quiet pressure to start planning — even when your heart isn’t ready.

In this gentle, pastoral episode of Anointed Scribe, we’re honoring the in-between space — the pause between what was and what comes next. This is not a teaching episode or a call to action. It’s an invitation to breathe, to rest without guilt, and to trust that God is present even when nothing feels clear.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the in-between is not wasted time — but inhabited time
• How God often works in transitions throughout Scripture
• Why fogginess, fatigue, and reflection are not signs of failure
• How to release end-of-year guilt and receive grace instead

If you’re feeling unmotivated, emotionally tender, or unsure what to do next, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need to decide anything right now.

👉 Optional Next Step:

If you sense there may be something deeper underneath your exhaustion or restlessness, you’re invited to take the free What’s Keeping You Stuck? quiz. It offers gentle clarity — no pressure, no urgency.

Take the quiz.

As the year comes to a close, many Christian authors feel an unspoken pressure — to finish, to plan, to prove that this year mattered.

But what if that pressure isn’t from God at all?

In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we’re talking about the kind of end-of-year urgency that masquerades as responsibility but quietly fuels striving, anxiety, and burnout. If your mind feels noisy, your to-do list feels heavy, or rest feels like something you have to earn, this conversation is for you.

You’ll hear:

• Why pressure is not God’s voice — even when things matter deeply
• How striving clouds discernment and steals peace
• What Scripture actually says about rest, trust, and timing
• Gentle, practical ways to quiet your mind when everything feels urgent

This isn’t an episode about productivity.

It’s about presence. Pace. And releasing what was never yours to carry.

It's that time of the year when you're gearing up to set new goals… but instead of feeling excited, you feel defeated.

If you’re ending 2025 feeling worn out from all the effort you poured in—and still wondering why the results didn’t match the work—this episode is going to meet you right where you are.

Today, I’m sharing a moment from my own author journey when discouragement hit before I even started planning for the new year. And more importantly, the unexpected shift God brought that completely changed how I now approach my goals, my work, and my author business.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

🖋️ A deeper look at the real source of that “What’s the point?” feeling

🖋️ The one thing Christian authors often skip when they rush into goal-setting

🖋️ Why your effort may not be showing visible fruit yet—and what that actually means

🖋️ A fresh, faith-filled shift that can change how you step into 2026

This isn’t a pep talk or productivity lecture. It’s a heart reset—one that brings clarity, peace, and grounded direction for the year ahead.

You’ll also hear about two resources designed to help you move forward with intention:

🤔 The “What’s Keeping You Stuck?” Quiz

It's that time of year—everyone's setting goals, making resolutions, and planning their 2026 author business. But what if one word could give you more clarity than a hundred strategies?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I personally choose a Word of the Year, how it's kept me focused and grounded for 8 years, and the quiz I use every single year to help me discern what that word should be.

This isn't a "you must do this" episode. It's simply me sharing my experience with a practice that's transformed how I approach my author business—and inviting you to try it if it resonates.

I'm also sharing how my last three words turned out to be prophetic—revealed years before God would call me to create this podcast and The Revive to Thrive Way™. He was already naming what He was about to birth through me, and I couldn't have known that at the start of each of these years.

If you're heading into 2026 feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or unclear about what to focus on—this practice might help you too.

Plus, I'm sharing my collection of river stones with 8 years of words written on them—and how looking back, I can clearly see how each word was the foundation of that year, often in ways I never expected.

Scripture referenced: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (a time for everything), Proverbs 4:25-27 (fix your gaze), Proverbs 16:9 and 19:21 (hold plans loosely)

Perfect for: Christian authors feeling scattered, anyone overwhelmed by conflicting advice, writers looking for focus in 2026, those wanting practical ways to align with God's plan

It's almost the end of 2025, and instead of gratitude, you're drowning in guilt.

The books you didn't finish. The goals you didn't hit. The platform that didn't grow. Everyone else is posting their year-end wins—12 books published, six-figure incomes, USA Today bestseller lists—and you're wondering if you wasted an entire year.

But what if you're measuring the wrong things?

What if God sees your 2025 completely differently than you do?

In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing my own disappointing 2025—an unexpected international move that disrupted every plan, left books unwritten, and income goals unmet. And yet, God revealed something that completely changed how I see this year.

If you're heading into December feeling like you failed at your calling, this episode will shift your perspective.

We're talking about the metrics God actually cares about (spoiler: they're not book counts or bestseller lists), why "unproductive" seasons might be God's most important ones, and the one thing most Christian authors are forgetting as they measure their year.

This isn't toxic positivity. This is about learning to see what God sees—and discovering He might be celebrating things you haven't even noticed.

Because friend, what if the guilt you're carrying isn't from God at all?

Scripture referenced: Psalm 103:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 43:19

Perfect for: Christian authors feeling like failures, anyone comparing their year to others' highlight reels, writers carrying guilt about "unproductive" seasons, those ready to finish 2025 strong.

Turn up the volume—this one will help you see your year through God's eyes instead of the world's.

Have you invested in course after course, desperately hoping to find the breakthrough formula, but ended up more confused than ever? Spent money on Facebook ads training, launch strategies, and marketing blueprints that promised "zero to six figures" success—only to find yourself still stuck?

In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing the costly mistakes I made following voices motivated by worldly success instead of Kingdom advancement. For years, I chased after expert strategies, secret formulas, and proven systems, not realizing the real problem: I was building my author business on the wrong foundation.

If you're a Christian author who feels paralyzed by conflicting expert advice, exhausted from implementing strategies that don't work, or wondering why God's calling isn't translating into results—this episode is for you.

We're talking about:

• How to discern which voices to follow when everyone's making promises
• The red flags I missed in course marketing (and how to spot them)
• Why information overload keeps Christian authors stuck
• The difference between building FOR God versus building WITH God
• What Matthew 7's parable about building on rock vs sand means for your author business
• How to know if you're following worldly metrics or Kingdom principles
• Why you might need the right foundation before any strategy will work

This isn't about bashing courses or saying all expert advice is bad. It's about learning to hear God's voice above all the noise, understanding what foundation comes FIRST, and building a Spirit-led author platform that actually aligns with your calling.

If you're tired of chasing "successful author" formulas that leave you feeling like a failure, ready to stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel, and hungry for GOD to break in—turn up the volume, because this episode will set you up for heavenly transformation.

Mentioned in this episode: Proverbs 14:12, Psalm 127:1, James 1:5, Matthew 7:24-27

For years, I congratulated other Christian authors on their success. But then I'd close my laptop and feel this weird heaviness in my chest. Why them and not me?

I didn't recognize it for what it was: a competitive heart quietly poisoning my calling.

In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing a season of my journey I don't talk about often—when God exposed the scarcity mindset I'd imported from the publishing industry straight into my faith. When I realized I was competing for a spot in His Kingdom that was already mine. And when He finally showed me what abundance actually looks like.

If you've ever felt that same heaviness when another author succeeds, if you've caught yourself comparing instead of celebrating—this one's for you. Because there's a way out.
