How Writers and Communicators Can Discover Their Calling Through Life's Unexpected Seasons

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

Twenty-eight years ago, I married my husband, Nick.

One month later, I packed my bags, said goodbye to family and everything familiar, and boarded a plane to England on Air Force orders.

I was young, newly married, and far from home.

At the time, I had no idea that experience would become part of the story God would later use to reveal my calling.

How Christian Writers Can Bloom With Purpose and Focus

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

There’s something special about the month of May.

Flowers begin to bloom with intention. Trees that once looked bare now carry vibrant expression. What was once hidden beneath the soil begins to rise, unfold, and reveal its beauty.

But blooming doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens after a season of being rooted, stretched, pruned, and prepared.

And for us as Christian communicators writers, speakers, leaders May is a powerful reminder:

You were never meant to simply produce… you were created to bloom with purpose.

What’s in Your Hands? A Message for Christian Writers About Calling, Obedience, and Renewal

By Kennita (Kay) Williams

At the start of a new year, the pressure to reinvent ourselves can be overwhelming especially for writers, speakers, and Christian communicators. New goals. New platforms. New strategies. New versions of ourselves.

But what if God is not asking us for something new at all?

What if the real invitation is not reinvention, but renewal?

During a recent Bible study, one question anchored our entire conversation:

“What’s in your hands?”

How Christian Communicators Can Speak From Peace in a Shaking World

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

There are moments when the world feels unsteady beneath our feet. The news cycle churns with tragedy, voices of influence rise and fall, and grief leaves us searching for stability. Recently, I found myself unsettled by the unrest that seems to press in from every direction. As a leader, communicator, and believer, I felt the weight of needing to steady others while I was still seeking balance myself.

Maybe you’ve felt it too, the tension of trying to write, speak, or minister with clarity while your own spirit feels rattled.

Freedom to Write: Lighting the Fuse of Our God-Given Words

by Kennita (Kay) Williams 

I love July. The whole month feels alive with promise—the smell of barbecue smoke drifting on warm breezes, the crackle of fireworks painting the night sky, the flags fluttering proudly in front yards.

But maybe it hits different for me because I’m a military spouse.

Freedom isn’t just an abstract ideal in my world. It’s the reason we moved every few years, the reason my husband put on the uniform and salutes the flag. It’s something we sacrificed for—something we prayed for when he deployed, something we felt deep in our bones when he was home safe.

May the Force Be With You: Pressing Through to Clarity in the Writing Journey

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

It was one of those mornings. The cursor blinked over and over, like a tiny reminder that I still hadn't written a single word, and every click of the keys felt forced. I had carved out time to write, set the mood with my favorite instrumental playlist, and even brewed my go-to medium roast Gevalia coffee. But nothing was flowing. My thoughts were scattered. My spirit felt cluttered.

I sat back in my chair, let out a heavy sigh, and whispered, “Lord, what do You want to say?” That simple question changed everything.

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

Most writers share a common affection we love words, don't we? There is something magical about crafting sentences, shaping ideas, and painting vivid pictures with language. Words hold power, and for those of us who have fallen in love with them, they become a lifelong companion.

For me, words have always been more than just letters strung together. They have been a source of inspiration, clarity, and empowerment. From the time I was a young girl scribbling notes in my journal to becoming a published author, speaker, and thought leader, my love for words has deepened in ways I never imagined.

Setting Goals for a Successful Writing Year

by Kennita (Kay) Williams

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” – Proverbs 16:3

As writers, we often feel the pull of creativity and the weight of deadlines. The blank page can be both exhilarating and intimidating, and the idea of planning may seem restrictive in a world where inspiration is often viewed as spontaneous. Yet, Scripture reminds us of the power of intentionality, commitment, and trusting God with our plans.
