When God Calls You Beyond Your Strengths

Denise Colby shares how a persistent nudge, twelve years of perseverance, and a willingness to obey led to a publishing contract she never imagined.

Sometimes God’s calling doesn’t arrive as a lightning bolt. Sometimes it comes as a nudge that refuses to go away.

In this delightful conversation that editor and book coach April Gardner had with historical Christian romance author Denise Colby, Denise shares how God repeatedly prompted her to write, even though writing wasn’t her strongest subject and she never envisioned herself becoming an author. What followed was a twelve-year journey filled with rejection, growth, self-doubt, faithful community, and ultimately a four-book publishing contract.

Whether you’re wondering if God is calling you to write, struggling to persevere through a long season, or simply trying to discern your next God-honoring step, I think Denise’s story will encourage you.
