How to Overcome Fear and Finally Write the Book God Put on Your Heart (with Stephanie Miller) – Episode 551

This week I’m chatting with Stephanie Miller, a writing and spiritual growth coach, author of The Butterfly Blueprint, and founder of Butterfly Beginnings Coaching. Stephanie helps anxious “caterpillar writers” transform into confident “butterfly authors,” and in this episode she’s unpacking the five reasons Christians should write a book, how to overcome excuses and resistance, and why journaling is such a powerful tool for both faith and business.

If you’ve ever felt a nudge from God to write but keep putting it off, this conversation will give you the encouragement and practical tools to finally start.

Why Christians Should Write Their Book

Stephanie shares why writing isn’t just about publishing words—it’s about obedience, legacy, and kingdom impact. Here’s why your story matters:

✦ You Have Something to Say
Your personal experiences and insights are unique, and God can use them to encourage others in ways no one else can.
✦ Your Book Meets a Need
Even if the topic has been covered before, your perspective fills a gap and offers a fresh approach.
✦ You’re the Person to Write It
The Holy Spirit speaks through you differently than He does through others, which makes your voice irreplaceable.
✦ Visibility and Credibility
A book opens doors for speaking and ministry opportunities while establishing authority in your area of calling.
✦ Leave a Legacy
Writing isn’t just for today’s readers—it sets an example for your children and future generations of what obedience looks like.

Practical Takeaways: Writing with Faith and Purpose

✦ Reframe writing as an act of service—it pours into others and isn’t selfish.
✦ Recognize resistance as a sign that your book has potential for kingdom impact.
✦ Start morning pages journaling daily (even just for 7 days) to clear clutter and invite Spirit-led creativity.
✦ Set aside specific times for writing and use accountability groups to stay consistent.
✦ Stop waiting until you “feel ready”—obedience comes first, inspiration follows.
✦ Measure success by faithfulness and obedience, not by book sales or numbers.

I am slow of speech and tongue.’ The Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’”
