My friend, welcome to 2026!

I can’t wait to see how the Lord rolls out the fulfillment of His promises in your life this year. As we step forward in Christ, there is no turning back. The door to the last season has shut, and we’re marching onward into the land the Father has prepared for us.

In today’s episode of Heart for Creatives, we’re laying the spiritual foundations every Christian writer needs before planning the year ahead. If you’re craving peace, clarity, and sustainable rhythms in your writing life—and you’re ready to say goodbye to burnout—this episode is for you.

We’ll explore three foundational mindsets that help writers build with God instead of striving alone:

• How to stay fiercely focused on what God said—not what the world demands

• How to faithfully do your part while surrendering the results to Him

• How trusting God’s presence fuels courage, consistency, and peace

This isn’t about perfect schedules or productivity hacks. It’s about aligning your creative process with your faith so you can steward your writing calling with joy, trust, and grace.
