The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode. Hey everybody welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others.

Each week I host a conversation with the Christ follower

who's pursuing world-class mastery of their craft.

We talk about their path to mastery. We talk about their daily habits, and how their faith influences

their work. Today's guest is Wendy Speak. She's the author of a few massive best-selling books, including triggers and

the 40-day social media fast.

She's a terrific writer and marketer.

Obviously both key ingredients to being a masterful author.

So Wendy and I recently sat down, we talked about how she sold more than a hundred thousand copies

of her first self-published book. We talked about the impact that a

conversation she had early in her life had about honing her craft and we talked

about the impact that social media fasts are having on

Christ followers in their work and at home. Please enjoy this conversation

with my friend, Wendy speaking.

Wendy, thanks for being here.

You're welcome.

I'm super excited.

Actually, I have a huge smile on my face.
