Each one of us has a story that has the power to make a difference in the lives of others. And putting that story into a book multiplies that power because it makes it accessible to the masses. If you have been wanting to put your story, idea, or teachings into a book, but it feels overwhelming, then you’ll want to turn up the volume on this episode because my guest has been purposed and gifted with the ability to bring your dream of becoming an author into reality.
Wendy Melrose is a Daughter of King Jesus, wife and mother of two. 5 time author in the last 12 months, writing & self-publishing coach, and sales professional. She has been focusing on John 15, learning how to abide and be certain she is attached to the vine. . . nothing else matters. When the Lord leads, everything falls into place.
Here are the takeaways:
When God calls us, it can feel intimidating, but God often provides clear signs that illuminate the path and make it easier to trust and follow.
The truth sets us free.
Act with a servant’s heart, not from ego. Ask, will this help others transform their pain into purpose?
Are you stepping outside God’s will or aligning with it?
God always provides, equipping us with the skills, wisdom, and opportunities to support ourselves.
God gives us tasks in two ways: either He consistently reminds us to act, or, if we say no enough times, He assigns someone else, and we miss the opportunity to serve.
Don’t let fear, anxiety, or the lies of the enemy cause you to miss out on God’s best for your life.
We often overthink God’s call. We need to focus on the present day and ask, “Lord, what do You want me to do today?” and don’t worry about tomorrow.
Approaching life or business by seeking God’s guidance first, rather than asking Him to bless our pre-set plans, changes everything. We learn humility and how to move from the inside out.
Being in God’s will isn’t about suppression—it’s about abundance, as we are connected to the source, our Creator.
There’s relief in letting go of the need to control. It’s not about giving up control, but the need for control.
You can't have the promise without going through the pain.
The most powerful stories are the ones that help people feel like God's promise is also attainable for them.
Honest feedback is crucial—it’s the difference between making something good and making something great.
Starting the journey is often the hardest step.
We are called to greatness, to bring our purpose into the world and fulfill it.
