In this episode, I'm sharing what the Lord has been teaching me about faith, stewardship, and obedience, not just in our personal walk with God, but in the way we build what He has entrusted to us.

Because when God places a message on your life, it is not random. It is not small. It is not just "something you care about." It is an assignment.

I believe this is especially true for Christian authors.

Many authors are trying to sell their books using traditional methods, and they often feel discouraged when it doesn't work. Book signings, Amazon bestseller strategies, endless posting on social media, and even podcast tours can leave you exhausted with little to show for it if you do not understand what actually drives book sales today.

In this episode, I walk you through the deeper issue beneath the frustration. Fear, hesitation, striving, and carrying the pressure alone. Then I show you the biblical foundation of sowing and reaping, and what it really looks like to be faithful with what God has entrusted to you, even when you are still building, still growing, and still becoming established.

This is not just about "marketing." It is about obedience. It is about stewardship. It is about building with diligence and faith so the fruit of your message can multiply beyond you.

Scripture operates on cause and effect, and that reality does not weaken God's sovereignty. It reveals it.

In this episode, I explore how God intentionally designed covenant to include choice, consequence, and responsibility. From sowing and reaping to obedience and endurance, the Bible consistently shows that what we choose produces real outcomes, both in this life and in eternity. This is not because God lacks control, but because His sovereignty includes granting humanity real agency within His plan.

We will talk about why forgiveness does not remove earthly consequences, why obedience is not legalism, and why faith that remains passive does not reflect the fullness of biblical faith. God is not reacting to human decisions. He authored a world where truth responds to choice.

Cause and effect are evidence of God's design.

God remains fully sovereign while honoring the freedom He gave us. Covenant was never about control. It was about relationship, trust, and the formation of a people who choose Him in truth and endurance.

If you have wrestled with how free will, obedience, and eternal life coexist under a sovereign God, this conversation will bring clarity without compromise.

Scripture speaks often about the bitterness of the soul,
yet modern Christianity rarely knows what to do with it.

In Episode 135, I take you into the Word to show why bitterness of soul is not sinful, rebellious, or faithless but deeply biblical, honest, and often the very place where God meets His people.

From Hannah, to Job, to David, we see a pattern:
God does not reject the bitter soul; He invites it.

I unpack what Scripture actually means when it speaks of bitterness, anguish, and deep distress, and why pouring out a bitter soul before the Lord is not complaining — it's consecration. It's the language of those who refuse to pretend, numb, or spiritually bypass their pain.

This episode is especially for the believer who has been told to "just be grateful," "stay positive," or "speak life" when what your soul actually needs is permission to be honest before God.

Because bitterness of soul, when brought to the Lord, does not harden the heart — it softens it.

And if you're a Christian author or writer carrying a message forged in suffering, this episode will help you understand why your story, your voice, and your obedience matter — and how God often births impact and calling from places the world labels as weakness.

God is not offended by your bitterness.
He draws near to it.
