What if Your Story Isn't Just Yours? 3 Signs Your Story Is Meant to Be Shared

Or: Why your obedience to write might be someone else's breakthrough
I want to share something I've witnessed dozens of times in my work with Christian authors.
I've sat on Zoom with dozens of people who have powerful testimonies of God's faithfulness through unimaginable circumstances.
One woman comes to mind. After sharing her story of brutal trauma and redemption, she looked at me with tears forming and said, 
"I feel like God keeps nudging me to write about it, but I don’t know if anyone would want to read it. I don’t know if it’s worth writing.”
Without thinking, I asked her a question that seemed to come straight from the Holy Spirit: "What if your obedience to write is the breakthrough someone else has been praying for?"
Those words landed. Not with the thud of burden, but with the light of clarity.
Maybe you need to hear that too.
Your story—that testimony, that lesson, that hard-won wisdom—it was never just for you.
The outcome of truth is always the right outcome. And your truth might be the key that unlocks someone else's prison.
3 Signs Your Story Is Meant to Be Shared
1. It won't leave you alone. When a message keeps showing up in your prayer time, your quiet moments, even your dreams—that's not coincidence. That's calling. God doesn't plant seeds He doesn't intend to grow.
2. You've spoken it, and it's touched hearts. If you've shared parts of your story and watched people lean in—if they've said "I needed to hear that" or "you should write a book"—that's confirmation, not flattery. God's already using your words.
3. You feel both drawn to write it and afraid to start. That tension is holy ground. The enemy only sets up resistance around things that matter. The more important the message, the stronger the spiritual pushback.
If you're nodding right now, I want to personally invite you to join the Kingdom Author Challenge—a free 5-day journey to help you start the book God has placed on your heart.
We begin Monday, June 2nd. There's no cost. No pressure. Just community, coaching, and clarity on the message that's burning in your spirit.

Remember, someone out there is waiting for the words only you can write. Don't keep them waiting too long.
