Kingdom Writers: A Podcast for Christian Writers of All Genres CJ and Shelley Hitz: Writing Mentor, Author Coach, Christian Writers

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years about the writing life, it’s that a person needs to have a passion for writing. This passion is fueled by the God we desire to partner with in order to write lasting words of impact. After all, the Kingdom writer is one who is gifted and called by God. The prophet Jeremiah describes our calling with these words,
“But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!” (Jeremiah 20:9 NLT)
Can you relate to feeling this way? Are the words inside you like a fire in your bones until you’re able to get those words onto paper?
But like many things in life, sometimes our passion and fire can grow dim. Somewhere along the way, we forget about the love we once had for the craft of writing. Instead, we become focused on the destination or the finished product and become impatient when things aren’t lining up the way we want.
Listen in as we talk about recovering our first love for Jesus and a renewed passion in our writing.

Hagar & Ishmael were sent away
Genesis 21:14-19
Is it possible that in her pain & despair, Hagar assumes the worst-that God is not with her and that He will not help her, that He doesn’t see her suffering-and that this perspective blinds her to the well in front of her?
Is it possible that in our own trials and pain, we let that same lie sneak in? Maybe this time He won’t come to my aid-and my eyes become so fixed on that lie that I’m blinded to the grace and joy right in front of me, all around me, or perhaps right around the corner? 
We need God to open our eyes to ideas and possibilities for our books even when our resources have been used up and we feel like we’re dying in the desert.
He wants to inject hope into our writing like a cool glass of water in the midst of drought. 
As you may recall, Hagar found herself in the desert more than once. In chapter 16, near a spring in the desert as a pregnant runaway, she encountered the angel of the Lord and declared, “You are the God who sees me” (El-roi)
You & I will also find ourselves in the desert more than once. And more than once, the God who sees us will be more than faithful to provide for our deepest need as we cry out to Him.
