3 Lies That Stop Kingdom Writers (And The Truth That Sets Us Free)
Do these thoughts sound familiar?
“Who am I to write a book?”
“I’ll start when life slows down a bit.”
“Maybe my message isn’t that important after all.
I’ve written over 120 books for Christian leaders, pastors, entrepreneurs and everyday believers with extraordinary stories. And I can tell you—these thoughts aren’t just common. They’re predictable. They’re warfare.
The enemy has a well-worn playbook for silencing Kingdom voices before they ever reach the page. But here’s the good news: so does God.
The 3 Biggest Lies—and God’s Truth to Counter Them
Lie #1: “I’m not qualified to write.” Truth: I’m not the first to say that God has never once called the qualified. He qualifies the called. Moses wasn’t eloquent. David wasn’t royal material. Peter wasn’t educated. Your inadequacy isn’t a disqualification—it’s a prerequisite for God’s power to be displayed through you.
Lie #2: “I don’t have time to write a book.” Truth: You don’t need to find time—you need to make time. The Kingdom authors I work with aren’t writing in vast stretches of empty hours. They’re writing in 20-minute increments before the kids wake up. In lunch breaks. After dinner. Remember: God can feed thousands with five loaves and two fish. He can do miracles with the small portions of time you give Him.
Lie #3: “No one will care what I have to say.” Truth: The measure of a message isn’t mass appeal—it’s obedience. Noah preached for decades without a single convert outside his family. Was his message a failure? No—it was exactly what God asked of him. Your book might be for thousands… or it might be for one. Either way, if God planted it in your heart, your only job is to be faithful and write it.
If these truths are stirring something in you, I want to personally invite you to the Kingdom Author Challenge—a free 5-day experience starting June 2nd.
