A Christian Book Coach case study sharing how fasting, community accountability, Spirit-led clarity, and ethical AI use helped publish a faith-based book in just three days.
As a Christian Book Coach, this moment is why I launched the Divine Dream Creator Publishing Studio—to help others turn their testimony into legacy with clarity, peace, and obedience, not pressure.
When God Moves in Community, Obedience Multiplies
I didn’t become a Christian Book Coach because I wanted a new title. I became one because obedience, when witnessed, creates permission.
Faith Over Frustration wasn’t written in isolation. It wasn’t birthed behind closed doors. It didn’t happen in secrecy or striving. It happened in community, during a shared fast, in real time, with people watching God move as I simply followed instructions. This book is not just a personal testimony. It’s a collective witness.
The Context: A Year That Changed All of Us
By the time December arrived, 2025 had already been a deeply revealing and refining year for many of us in the Divine Dream Creators community. It was a year marked by:
transition and pruning
delayed promises
hard obedience
deep inner healing
spiritual maturity
and new clarity about purpose
Throughout the year, one theme kept surfacing in conversations with friends, family, and community members:
“I need to write this down.”“God has taught me too much to keep this to myself.”“I want to document this season.”“I feel called to write a book or resource one day.”
The desire to write wasn’t about ambition. It was about stewardship. We didn’t want the lessons of 2025 to be wasted.
The Fast: Obedience in Partnership, Not Isolation
When I entered my five-day Don’t Quit December fast, I didn’t do it alone. I fasted in partnership with my husband, close friends, and invited members of the Divine Dream Creators community to join me. We were all fasting for different reasons, but with the same posture: humility, focus, and a desire to hear God clearly.
I wasn’t expecting to write a book. I was simply seeking clarity.
But on December 2nd, in the stillness of fasting, God placed a clear assignment on my heart: A book for youth athletes. Written now. Not later. The clarity came instantly. The vision was complete. And because I was in community, I didn’t keep it to myself. I shared it.
Writing in Real Time: Community as Witness
From sunrise to sunset on December 3rd, 4th, and 5th, while fasting, I began working on the book. And day by day, I invited my husband and close friends into the process. They watched the book come together in real time.
By the end of the fast, we were all in disbelief. Not because a book was being written, but because of how it was happened. No chaos. No scrambling. No burnout. Just clarity, obedience, focus, and grace.
At sunset on Friday, December 5th, as I broke my fast, I submitted the initial draft for publishing. Three days. Start to finish. And none of us would ever forget it.
The Role of AI: A Tool Stewarded, Not Worshiped
Another important layer of this testimony was how I used AI during the process. This is where my perspective as a Christian Book Coach becomes clear.
AI did not give me the idea. God did.
AI did not create the message. The Holy Spirit did.
AI did not replace my voice. It followed it.
Once I received clarity, direction, and divine downloads from God, I used AI strategically to:
organize my thoughts
structure chapters
refine flow
accelerate formatting
streamline the publishing process
AI multiplied the work of my hands, but the authority, testimony, tone, and heart came from God and lived experiences.
This is the framework I now teach:
God leads. The author listens. AI assists.
Not the other way around. My community didn’t just hear me talk about this, they watched it happen responsibly, ethically, and in alignment.
A Shift Happened: From “Someday” to “This Is Possible”
When Faith Over Frustration was officially published, the excitement wasn’t just mine. It was communal. Because suddenly:
“one day” became “why not now?”
fear turned into structure
confusion turned into clarity
intimidation turned into instruction
People who had talked all year about writing books realized:
“This isn’t impossible.”“I don’t have to do this alone.”“There’s a process.”“There’s help.”
My obedience didn’t just produce a book. It produced permission.
Why I Built the Divine Dream Creator™ Publishing Studio
That moment made the calling unmistakable. I wasn’t just called to write books. I was called to equip others to write theirs. Creating the Divine Dream Creator™ Publishing Studio allows me to:
help friends and family steward their testimonies
walk first-time authors through clarity and structure
teach ethical, Spirit-led AI use
remove fear and overwhelm from publishing
transform lessons into legacy tools
As a Christian Book Coach, my role is not to rush people into publishing. It’s to help them discern the assignment, protect their voice, and build with peace.
Because God never intended for us to carry our messages alone.
The Outcome: A Book, a Studio, and a Community of Emerging Authors
Today, Faith Over Frustration is published and available on Amazon. But the greater fruit is this:
a publishing studio was born
a community of authors was activated
stories that almost stayed hidden are being stewarded
and obedience is multiplying through others
This book didn’t just mark a launch. It marked a shift from personal obedience to communal equipping.
The Rooted Lesson
This experience taught me something I now live by and teach others:
Fasting brings clarity.
Community brings courage.
Obedience brings acceleration.
Wisdom brings strategy.
AI brings multiplication when it follows God, not ego.
God doesn’t waste seasons. He redeems them. And sometimes, He uses one person’s obedience to unlock many others.
Reflection for Aspiring Authors
What lessons from this year are you being asked to steward?
Who is meant to be helped by your story?
Are you trying to do this alone when God designed it for community?
What would change if you allowed guidance instead of pressure?
A Prayer for Writers Who Feel Called
Lord, thank You for the seasons that shape us and the lessons that refine us. Give me the courage to steward what You’ve taught me. Help me write, create, and build from obedience not fear. Surround me with the right people, the right tools, and the right timing. Let my story become a blessing to others .Amen.
