Stop Writing as a Hobby – Start Earning as an Author
Posted in At This Table
Does talking about money feel unspiritual — when your book was written to change lives?
In this powerful episode of At This Table: fUNfiltered Marketing Talk for Authors, Shelly, Carol, and Sara tackle a mindset shift that stops so many Christian writers in their tracks: the belief that turning your writing into a business somehow diminishes its ministry impact.
Whether you’re stuck in “hobby mode” or secretly afraid to set financial goals, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to step boldly into stewardship — not just of your message, but of your mission.
Originally aired LIVE on the Redemption Press YouTube channel, this episode resonated deeply with our audience… and now, we’re bringing it here to the podcast so you don’t miss out.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What a “hobby mindset” looks like — and why it keeps your book from reaching the people who need it most
- Why building a ministry-focused and business-strong plan isn’t selling out — it’s stewarding well
- How to set financial and impact goals without guilt
- Practical steps to shift from hoping for sales to creating real momentum
- How to keep Jesus at the center while building a sustainable author business
A favorite line: “When you treat your book like a hobby, it will behave like a hobby. But when you treat it like a mission-driven business, it can transform lives — and yours, too."
