My friend, welcome to 2026!

I can’t wait to see how the Lord rolls out the fulfillment of His promises in your life this year. As we step forward in Christ, there is no turning back. The door to the last season has shut, and we’re marching onward into the land the Father has prepared for us.

In today’s episode of Heart for Creatives, we’re laying the spiritual foundations every Christian writer needs before planning the year ahead. If you’re craving peace, clarity, and sustainable rhythms in your writing life—and you’re ready to say goodbye to burnout—this episode is for you.

We’ll explore three foundational mindsets that help writers build with God instead of striving alone:

• How to stay fiercely focused on what God said—not what the world demands

• How to faithfully do your part while surrendering the results to Him

• How trusting God’s presence fuels courage, consistency, and peace

This isn’t about perfect schedules or productivity hacks. It’s about aligning your creative process with your faith so you can steward your writing calling with joy, trust, and grace.

You don’t build alone. This is the year you build what God has assigned you to build.

Welcome to our last episode of 2025!

This year has been a whirlwind, and I'm grateful beyond measure to have you here with me. God has been doing wonders on this journey, and He's just getting started.

There’s so much to come that 2026 will feel like the Father is rolling out the red carpet to everything He's been preparing. Before we step into the new year, it’s time to slow down, meet with God, and align our writing business with His heart.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why every Christian author needs an end-of-year meeting with God — and I’m sharing a 4-step Kingdom Impact Roadmap to help you sit with Him, reflect intentionally, pray with clarity, and step boldly into 2026.

Whether you’re a Christian fiction author, a new writer in your first five years, or a creative longing for God-led direction, this episode will help you rediscover rest, renew your confidence, and position your writing for Kingdom impact.
