Yeah, so I wanted to just give you a little sneak preview of what these 15 obstacles are. And you know, we've all dealt with these different things at different times. And so let me just go through real quickly. The 15 obstacles are self doubt.
Overcoming comparison.
Conquering the fear of even just sharing our story.
Freedom from people, pleasing, breaking through insecurity as writers, putting an end to procrastination.
Breaking free from perfectionism.
Regaining control of our time.
Escaping writer's block, letting go of our writing regrets, healing from any shame we still carry, Overcoming overwhelm.
Saying goodbye to this whole scarcity mindset that we get infected with at times, Defeating distraction.
Enduring physical pain, which some of us have in an ongoing basis. But you know, it was interesting. I was talking with one of our Christian Book Academy members just yesterday and was mentioning this new book that we have, Rise and Write, and it stopped her in her tracks. She's someone that has been dealing with Some just feeling paralyzed, not moving forward and feeling unfulfilled, that her writing's not going where she wants it to. And when I said, rise and write, she says, oh, that's interesting that you mentioned that, because my husband many times is telling me, and I won't mention her name, but he'll say.
He'Ll be quoting John 5:8. And John 5:8 says Jesus told him, stand up, pick up your mat and walk. And he's speaking to this man that had been sick for 38 years. Jesus approached him and he said, eventually, after the man said he wanted to be healed, stand up, pick up your mat and walk. And she said, her husband says, rise up, take your pen and write. And he'll tell me that regularly in order to give me encouragement. And so I thought it was so interesting that when I mentioned rise and write, those are the words that he uses to challenge her to undertake the writing call that she has in her life. And so maybe you're someone that can relate to those obstacles that we mentioned, the 15 different obstacles. Maybe you felt paralyzed. You have felt like this has just been going on for too long. And Jesus is saying to you, are you ready to rise up and write? And this book can help you do so. It's really a challenge. It's to help us all work through some of these obstacles that get us down or make us feel paralyzed by. From moving forward in that writing call. And so that's one of the things we want to encourage you with, is just to say, hey, this book is. Has the potential to help you with God's help.
Yeah. So I just want to encourage you to get a copy of the book now and maybe even get a copy for your friend or another writing buddy that you have. We just really believe in the content of this book. And so we want you to get ahold of it. And again, we have some special bonuses for you if you're buying during this launch that we have September 23rd through 25th, just forward your receipt to supporttrainingauthors.com and you will get the free Silence youe Inner Critic Workshop, Perfectionism Detox Journal, and Enter to win the Kingdom Writers Bundle Physical Products. So let me just pray for you. And we just hope that this book really blesses you. We pray that it does so. Lord, thank you so much much for every Kingdom writer listening right now. We thank you for the call on their life, the words that you've given them to write, the stories, the devotionals, the novels, Lord, the children's books, everything that you've put on their heart, Lord, we just pray it would come to be. We ask, Lord, that you empower them through your spirit and that they would rise and write.
