You answered a call to write, and somewhere along the way you came face to face with the challenges of staying rooted in your faith in a publishing industry drenched in worldly strategies. Maybe you've published a book or two and feel off course, worn down and unseen, wondering whether God still has you in this. Or maybe you're just starting out and want to build right from the beginning, before the traps catch you. Wherever you are in your author journey, you'll leave each weekly episode lighter, with permission to stop performing and the hope to keep going, confident in who God says you are instead of the next metric. Your host, Urcelia Teixeira, is a bestselling, award-winning Christian novelist with more than twenty books and years of full-time indie experience, who rebuilt her own author business with God at the center after chasing the industry's version o…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-26T18:19:55.714790+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-anointed-scribe-podcast-for-christian-writers-faith-encouragement-christian-author-business-7095545"},"episode":{"title":"68 | What I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Nearly Gave Up","slug":"68-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-when-i-nearly-gave-up","published_at":"2026-02-27T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-anointed-scribe-podcast-for-christian-writers-faith-encouragement-christian-author-business-7095545/68-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-when-i-nearly-gave-up","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-anointed-scribe-podcast-for-christian-writers-faith-encouragement-christian-author-business-7095545","url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/www.buzzsprout.com/2396618/episodes/18752160-68-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-when-i-nearly-gave-up.mp3","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/www.buzzsprout.com/2396618/episodes/18752160-68-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-when-i-nearly-gave-up.mp3","summary":"This is my backstory — and it's something I've never shared before. Not like this. In today's episode I'm bearing it all — the full, raw story of just how depressed and desperate I was two and a half years ago.
