    What You Write Really Matters

    Have you ever wondered if what you write really matters? And if you should you keep writing?

    On this episode from the Declare podcast archives, guest Brooke McGlothlin talks about something many of us probably struggle with: questioning our qualifications and our value as writers. Brooke joined us at the Declare Conference in 2014. We thought we’d re-share this episode today, since the encouragement she shares are so valuable and relevant. LISTEN HERE

    As a godly woman & author of several books, we can learn a lot from Brooke’s experiences.

    In this episode:

    • The blessing and curse of being an idea or why person (visionary) and then need to partner with a “how” person.
    • Brooke’s own season of questioning, rejection and then stopping writing.
    • Surrendering your plan with your writing and accepting God’s plan.
    • 3 Questions writers often grapple with in the writing journey.
    • How publishers may actually ask those questions.
    • The way God made her publishing dreams came true. Not by her striving, but through God’s provision.
    • Making your goal obedience and not success. Make His name great, not your own.

    Show Notes:

    Have you ever struggled with wanting to stop writing? Wondering if your words mattered?

    • Teacher Be Still  is a faith-based organization devoted to encouraging teachers in all arenas (public, private, home school, road school) to make their spiritual, physical, and mental health a priority.  Everyone knows a teacher! And everyone needs to be pouring Jesus’s love, strength, and protection over our educators. We pray that teachers will find encouragement and inspiration to realize their value as people desperately loved by Jesus. We host monthly events for Teachers called Teacher, Be Still Night.  We are also available to travel to churches/schools that want to hire our team! Learn more at TEACHERBESTILL.COM.
