Life can feel like a giant question mark—Who am I? Why am I here? What’s God’s plan for me? This book is here to help you answer those questions with confidence. Seeds of Purpose gives you seven powerful keys that will show you how to grow in your faith, build healthy relationships, make wise choices, and discover your God-given calling.
Can you tell us a little about the process of getting this book
published? How did you come up with the idea and how did you start?
The process
of getting this book published started long before I ever wrote the first page.
It began with a burden on my heart for teenagers who are searching for identity
and direction. The idea came from seeing how many young people feel lost, and
realizing that many of them have never been guided to discover their purpose
through God.
I
started by simply writing—capturing thoughts, lessons, and practical guidance
that I wish I had understood earlier in life. Over time, those notes became
structured chapters, and those chapters became a full manuscript. From there,
the publishing process required learning, refining, editing, and stepping out
in faith. It wasn’t just a technical journey, it was a spiritual one.
What surprised you most about getting your book published?
What
surprised me the most is how much happens behind the scenes. Writing the book
is one part, but publishing requires patience, attention to detail, and a
willingness to keep improving your work.
I
was also surprised by how stretching the process was; it pushed me to grow, not
only as a writer but as a person. It required discipline, consistency, and
trust in God’s timing.
Tell us a little about what you do when you aren’t writing
When I’m not
writing, I’m building the bigger vision connected to this book. That includes
working on projects that address real-life challenges like purpose and even
food insecurity.
I
also spend time learning, planning, and seeking God’s direction for the next
steps. Everything I do connects back to the same mission—impacting lives in a
meaningful and practical way.
As a published author, what would you say was the most pivotal point of
your writing life?
The most
pivotal point was deciding to take the vision seriously and act on it. There’s
a difference between having an idea and committing to it fully.
When
I made the decision that this message needed to be shared and that I would be
obedient to that calling; that changed everything. That’s when writing became
more than just an idea; it became a mission.
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think that is?
My best
ideas come from spending time with God, reflecting on real-life experiences,
and observing the needs around me, especially the challenges young people face
today.
I
believe those ideas come so clearly because they are not just creative, they
are purposeful. They are rooted in something bigger than me, which makes them
meaningful and impactful.
What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?
One of the
toughest criticisms is when people feel that a message is too simple or too
direct. But I’ve come to understand that simplicity is actually one of the
strengths of this book.
My
goal is not to impress—it’s to reach and transform. If a teenager can
understand it, connect with it, and apply it, then it has done its job.
What has been your best accomplishment as a writer?
My greatest
accomplishment is not just finishing or publishing the book, it’s knowing that
the message has the potential to change lives.
If
even one teenager discovers their identity in Christ, grows in their
relationship with God, and starts living differently because of this book, then
that is the greatest success to me.
How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?
I have a few
ideas and partially developed projects, but I try to stay focused on completing
what I start, especially when it’s connected to a clear mission.
Right
now, my priority is not just writing more books, but building a complete system
around this message through curriculum, mentorship, and other resources that
can create long-term impact as the Holy Spirit guides me.
