One of the biggest concerns Christian writers have about building a writing platform is pride. Is it prideful to attach your name to your work? Does promoting your writing mean you’re really just promoting yourself? In this episode, we tackle those questions head-on and look at what Scripture says about pride, humility, and having an accurate view of ourselves as writers. You’ll learn how to distinguish true humility from false humility, how to examine your motives without becoming paralyzed, and how promoting your writing can be an act of faithful stewardship rather than self-exaltation.Links and resources:Learn more about working with me as your writing coach.Sign up for Pen Points, a weekly email to encourage you in your writing.Watch the podcast on YouTube.Read the blog version of the podcast.Download the “Christian Writer’s Mindset Makeover”.The Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.
