Anointed Scribe: Christian Author Business, God's Way
A weekly faith-based podcast for Christian writers who want breakthrough in their author business without compromising their faith.
Are you exhausted from chasing book sales? Working harder but seeing fewer results? Comparing yourself to other Christian authors? Wondering if you’ll ever “make it”? Maybe you’ve lost the joy in writing, feel distant from God, and secretly question if He even called you to write.
I’ve been there. I built a bestselling Christian author business that left me empty, exhausted, and far from God. The metrics consumed me. The hustle drained me. The striving nearly broke me.
Then God showed me another way.
Hosted by Urcelia Teixeira—multi-published, award-winning Christian author and author coach who went from striving for worldly success to thriving with Kingdom purpose—the Anointed Scribe podcast reveals how God transformed my exhausting hustle into a joy-filled, purpose-driven author business that builds His Kingdom and my income.
Each week you’ll learn:
- Why the marketing strategies you’ve been taught don’t work—and what to do instead
- How to grow your author platform without feeling fake or salesy
- Biblical strategies that multiply both impact and income—without the burnout
- Faith-based mindset coaching that restores your joy and renews your calling
- The exact shifts that took me from striving to thriving as a Christian author
No fluff. No religious platitudes. Just raw truth, biblical foundations, and practical tools you can apply today.
If you’re ready to stop striving, start thriving, and finally build your author business God’s way, hit play.
Because, for such a time as this, you have been called to thrive as God's Anointed Scribe!
