Overcoming the Fear of Sharing Your Story
Have you ever felt a deep nudge to write but found yourself paralyzed by fear? You’re not alone. Many Christian authors wrestle with the fear of sharing their message—worried about judgment, vulnerability, or wondering if their words truly matter. But here’s the truth: God has given you a message, and someone out there needs to hear it.
In the latest episode of Answering The Call To Write, we explore three powerful ways to push past fear and start writing with courage:
1. Confront the Giant of Fear by Taking Action
Fear thrives in inaction. The best way to silence it is to move forward, even with small steps. Write a paragraph. Share a post. Speak your message aloud. Action breeds confidence.
2. Shift the Focus Off Yourself and Onto Your Reader
It’s easy to get caught up in thoughts like, What will people think of me? But what if you focused on the person waiting to be encouraged by your words? Writing isn’t about you—it’s about serving others through your God-given story.
3. Don’t Succumb to the Pressure of Sharing Every Detail
You don’t need to tell everything. Share what feels right and what will most help your reader. Protecting certain parts of your story doesn’t make you less authentic—it makes you wise.
Your message matters. Don’t let fear silence it.
