“I feel like a fraud.”
“I’m not qualified.”
“Who am I to write this?”

If you’ve ever had these thoughts, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome shows up loudest when you’re stepping into something God’s actually called you to.

Here are 3 grounded truths to help you push past the doubt and write anyway:

✨ 1. Remember Who Called You
You weren’t the one who gave yourself this assignment—God did. You’re writing in obedience, not to prove yourself.

📘 2. Say “No” to Comparison
Your rough draft isn’t meant to look like someone else’s published book. You’re seeing their final work. God is still helping you write yours. Stay focused on your story and your process.

💬 3. Write for Others’ Breakthrough
Your words might be the answer to someone’s prayer. Someone’s waiting on the other side of your obedience.

You don’t have to feel “enough” to start.
Just be willing. God will take it from there.

Did you know? 🤔 Your first draft is supposed to be messy. Think of it as raw material—you're shaping it into something better with each revision. Give yourself permission to write badly so you can revise brilliantly.

Writing isn’t just about producing content—it’s about offering up our creativity as an act of obedience and worship. Here’s how you can shift your perspective and make your writing a God-centered experience:

📖 Start with Prayer – Before you write, invite God into the process. Ask Him to guide your thoughts, give you clarity, and use your words for His purpose. Psalm 19:14 says, “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

✍️ Write with Surrender – Instead of focusing on perfection, focus on faithfulness. Your words don’t have to be polished or profound to bring glory to God. Trust that He will use them in ways you can’t yet see​.

✨ Offer Your Writing Back to God – Whatever you’re working on, dedicate it to Him. Let go of the pressure of outcomes, book sales, or recognition. Simply write as an act of worship, knowing that your obedience in writing is enough.

This week, we challenge you to dedicate your writing time to God​!

What If Jesus Didn’t Rise?

What if the tomb still held His body?
What if death had the final word?
What if the cross was the end of the story?

The Apostle Paul didn’t shy away from this question: “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins" ... "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.” — 1 Corinthians 15:17, 20

Without the resurrection, we’d have no victory.
No forgiveness.
No hope beyond the grave.

But because Jesus did rise, everything changes:
🕊️ Sin is defeated
🕊️ Death has lost its sting
🕊️ We are raised with Him to new life

This is more than a historical event—it’s the foundation of our faith. A living Savior means a living hope.

Let’s never lose the wonder of what the resurrection truly means.

He is risen—He is risen indeed!
