Have you tried every author strategy, followed all the advice, and still wonder why your books aren’t selling or your author business isn’t growing?
The Anointed Scribe Podcast™ is for self-published Christian authors who want to grow a profitable author business without compromising their faith.
I’m Urcelia Teixeira, a bestselling, award-winning Christian fiction author and founder of Anointed Scribe™. I know what it feels like to chase book sales, rankings, marketing strategies and the next thing the author world says you need, only to end up tired, discouraged and unsure whether you are still building the business God asked you to build.
Each week, we look at the real business of being an indie author using Scripture and applying biblical principles. We talk about book sales, marketing discernment, author income, email lists, advertising, social media, author platforms, productivity, burnout, comparison, ambition, calling, and success.
This is not a writing craft podcast or a step-by-step guide to setting up a KDP account. It is a place for Christian authors who need help deciding which strategies to follow, how to pursue profit without letting money lead them, how to keep going when results are slow, and how to build a business that serves readers and keeps Christ at the center.
You’ll find honest conversations, practical author business guidance, biblical teaching and encouragement for the days when you feel weary, doubtful or stuck.
Follow the show, and let’s grow your faith and build a profitable author business, God’s way.

It’s the start of a brand-new year.New goals. New planners. New promises we’re making to ourselves — again.“This year will be different.” “I’ll be more disciplined.” “I’ll finally stay consistent.”And yet, if we’re honest, many Christian authors have said these same things before… only to find themselves back in the same place by March.In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we talk about why good intentions rarely lead to lasting change — especially in your author business.Because the issue is rarely effort, discipline, or motivation.It’s often the foundation you’re building on.In this conversation, we explore:Why January doesn’t automatically reset exhaustion or burnoutHow repeated patterns form — even when you pray and plan sincerelyThe difference between movement and obedienceWhy pressure-driven goals always lead back to fatigueWhy prayer alone doesn’t always break cycles without awarenessAnd why real transformation starts with clarity, not another planIf your writing, marketing, or growth feels heavier than it should — even though you’ve done the work and stayed faithful — this episode will help you understand why.✨ Need clarity before setting another goal?If your author business isn’t working the way it should — despite your effort and faithfulness — I created a short clarity quiz to help you discern what’s actually creating friction right now.This isn’t about fixing you or trying harder. It’s about understanding whether the issue is strategy — or order.👉 Take the clarity quiz here:https://bit.ly/AnointedScribe-QuizLater this month, I’ll be opening a space for Christian authors who sense a deeper shift is needed — not another reset, but a rebuilding from the inside out.I’ll share more when the time is right.For now, start with clarity.👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!Send me a message!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ❤️🔥 If your author business feels heavy and still isn’t where you hoped it would be— it’s not because you’re incompetent or haven’t tried hard enough.

Rejection hurts, doesn’t it? Whether it’s an agent or publisher’s ‘no thanks,’ a bad review, or disappointing book sales, rejection and negative reviews can feel like a blow to the heart. But what if rejection isn’t a setback but a steppingstone?

You’ll learn why rejection doesn’t define your calling, how it can propel you toward excellence, and why God uses every ‘no’ to prepare you for His bigger ‘yes.’ If you’re ready to turn rejection into a tool for growth and success, this episode is for you.👉 Listen now to find purpose and growth in every 'no'!Send me a message!Support the show❇️ Resource Library: Get Free Access🌐 Show Website: https://www.AnointedScribe.com 🌐 Author Website: https://www.Urcelia.com 🅾️ Instagram: @Anointed.Scribe ⓕ Facebook: @AnointedScribeTo support this show for free, please leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
