Do you ever wonder, “Who am I to write? What do I have to offer?” If so, you’re not alone. Nearly every writer—new or seasoned—faces imposter syndrome at some point. But as Christian writers, our struggle with doubt is often tied to something deeper: our understanding of our identity in Christ.

In this episode of The Purposeful Pen, we dig into the lie of imposter syndrome and uncover the whole truth that we find in Scripture. Yes, apart from Christ, we have nothing to offer. But in Christ, we are chosen, gifted, and empowered to bear fruit through our words.

You’ll discover:

* The “grain of truth” that makes imposter syndrome so believable.

* How half-truths can twist our thinking into complete untruths.

* The biblical foundation for finding confidence as a writer.

* Practical steps to bring hidden lies to light

If you’ve ever felt unworthy of the call to write, this episode will remind you that your words—rooted in Christ—are a gift of grace to others.
