As female Christian writers, we often carry powerful imaginations—gifts from God meant to breathe life into stories. But what happens when those same imaginations become tangled in doubt, discouragement, and delay?

In this heart chat, Desiree unpacks the gentle yet convicting truth God shared with her: “Let your doubt die—and stop resuscitating it.” Drawing from Luke 7 and the account of John the Baptist, we explore what it looks like to cling to God’s promises, even when reality doesn’t match our expectations.

This episode will encourage you to:

• Recognize how doubt may be sabotaging your creative journey
• Choose faith over fear in your writing life
• Lean on the Holy Spirit to strengthen and sustain your trust
• Embrace the joy and strength that come from daily obedience

If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain, or weary in your calling—this one’s for you. Let’s rediscover the joy of co-writing with Jesus and choose, again, to believe Him at His word.

Tune in now and be encouraged to write from a place of faith, not fear.
