Prayer and Fasting for Your Future Readers

In this episode, we're diving into an often overlooked but powerful aspect of the writing journey - prayer and fasting. As authors, we invest countless hours honing our writing skills, but what if we dedicated 10% of that time to prayer? Join us as Shelley talks about how prayer and fasting can positively impact your writing and connect you with your future readers in even greater ways.

 


There’s a particular kind of resistance that comes with writing something you believe matters-a mix of doubt, distraction, and sometimes, sheer weariness. Kingdom Writers: A Podcast for Christian Writers of All Genres meets you right in that space. Hosts CJ and Shelley Hitz, who work as writing mentors and author coaches, understand that the journey to finishing your book isn't just about craft; it's a spiritual undertaking. Each episode blends practical guidance with heartfelt spiritual encouragement, often weaving in prayers specifically for the hurdles writers face. Whether you're drafting a novel, a memoir, or a devotional, the conversation here rests on a core belief: your story has a purpose and you have a unique role to play. This podcast feels like a dedicated writing session with friends who get it, offering both the tools and the faith-filled perspective to keep moving forward. Tune in for honest talks about the writing life, all grounded in the encouragement that your work can impact lives in meaningful, lasting ways.
