Summary
Before we jump in: CJ and I are live on YouTube every Tuesday morning at 11am Eastern teaching the Kingdom Writers Workshop, where we're learning to partner with God in our writing instead of doing it on our own. Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwriters Feeling called to write a book, but overwhelmed by where to start? In today's episode, Shelley shares why beginning with a guided journal is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to start publishing — especially for Kingdom writers who want to make an eternal impact without the overwhelm. You'll hear the story behind Shelley's own journal that reached thousands, why guided journals are easier to write than you think, and how you can create one quickly using a simple framework. 🎟 Want to join the Journal the Journey workshop?
