About This Webinar
Discover how God is weaving every part of your journey—the wounds, the waiting, the wins, and even the failures—into a powerful message that will impact the lives of your readers and listeners. You’ll learn why your authentic “mess” beats someone else’s perfect story, how small obedience leads to Kingdom impact, how and when you can share a specific story, and why your unique voice is desperately needed. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in a writing or speaking ministry for years, you’ll leave inspired to embrace your calling with fresh courage and see your story through God’s redemptive lens.
Join bestselling author and international speaker Carol Kent for a meaningful, practical webinar designed to encourage writers and speakers to see how God is at work in every part of their journey. Through Scripture, story, and wisdom gained over decades of ministry, Carol will help you embrace your calling with renewed courage and perspective.
This live gathering is designed to be personal, encouraging, and participatory—a chance to pause, refocus, and move forward with hope.
What You’ll Learn
During this 70-minute online gathering, you’ll explore:
- Why your authentic story often carries more power than a polished one
- How God weaves together both hardship and joy for Kingdom impact
- How to discern when and how to share a specific story
- Why small steps of obedience can have lasting influence
- How to move forward in your calling with fresh courage and clarity
Who This Is For
This webinar is for all writers and speakers. You don’t need a large platform or published book—just a willingness to listen and respond to God’s leading.
