The Right Kind of Boasting
In this episode of the Kingdom Writers Podcast, we look at the theme of boasting in the Lord rather than a boasting that originates from the flesh.
We look at Paulâs teachings from 2 Corinthians 10:13-18. It seems that there were some people trying to influence the church in Corinth and taking credit for the ministry taking place there. Paul will not be pulled into a competition with others but simply points to the work they did in planting the church there.
Paulâs desire was to see the ministry extended beyond the borders of what they did while living among the church in Corinth. He wanted nothing more than for this church to grow and mature to the point where they were multiplying beyond their local area.
As writers, we have opportunities to see our borders extended through the words we write. Our books can go far and wide in their influence and reach people we wouldnât be able to in person.
Paul quotes Jeremiah 9:24 to emphasize the right kind of boasting. We get a little more of a full picture in verses 23-24,
âThis is what the Lord says: âDonât let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!â
In our world of constant self-promotion through social media, these verses cause us to always be intentional about pointing to the Lord as our Source of creativity and inspiration. He is the reason we call ourselves Kingdom Writers. Itâs a privilege to even be called children of God.
As we encourage our fellow Kingdom Writers, we are also recognizing what the Lord is doing in and through them. As followers of Jesus, we are on the same team. At the end of the day, we can boast in the Lord for all He continues to do in our writing!

Do The Work
2 Timothy 4:5 - âAs for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.â
Paul gives young Timothy four things to do in this powerful little verseâŠ
Be sober-minded - In a world where others may be losing their minds, we are to remain clear in our thinking and focused on the things God has for us
Endure suffering - Whether from other people or from our spiritual enemy, we are told to endure which is the ability to withstand pain or hardship
Do the work - In Timothyâs case, Paul specifically instructs him to do the work of an evangelist. As Kingdom writers, we might be instructed to âdo the work of a writer.â
Fulfill Your Ministry - Whatever God has called us to do, we are to complete that task and fulfill what Heâs called us to do. Fulfill the ministry of writing that book that needs to get into specific hands the Lord wants to encourage
What does it mean to âdo the workâ? Weâll look at this topic as it pertains to the Kingdom writer.

If thereâs one thing weâve learned over the years about the writing life, itâs that a person needs to have a passion for writing. This passion is fueled by the God we desire to partner with in order to write lasting words of impact. After all, the Kingdom writer is one who is gifted and called by God. The prophet Jeremiah describes our calling with these words,
âBut if I say Iâll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. Itâs like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I canât do it!â (Jeremiah 20:9 NLT)
Can you relate to feeling this way? Are the words inside you like a fire in your bones until youâre able to get those words onto paper?
But like many things in life, sometimes our passion and fire can grow dim. Somewhere along the way, we forget about the love we once had for the craft of writing. Instead, we become focused on the destination or the finished product and become impatient when things arenât lining up the way we want.
Listen in as we talk about recovering our first love for Jesus and a renewed passion in our writing.

Hagar & Ishmael were sent away
Genesis 21:14-19
Is it possible that in her pain & despair, Hagar assumes the worst-that God is not with her and that He will not help her, that He doesnât see her suffering-and that this perspective blinds her to the well in front of her?
Is it possible that in our own trials and pain, we let that same lie sneak in? Maybe this time He wonât come to my aid-and my eyes become so fixed on that lie that Iâm blinded to the grace and joy right in front of me, all around me, or perhaps right around the corner?
We need God to open our eyes to ideas and possibilities for our books even when our resources have been used up and we feel like weâre dying in the desert.
He wants to inject hope into our writing like a cool glass of water in the midst of drought.
As you may recall, Hagar found herself in the desert more than once. In chapter 16, near a spring in the desert as a pregnant runaway, she encountered the angel of the Lord and declared, âYou are the God who sees meâ (El-roi)
You & I will also find ourselves in the desert more than once. And more than once, the God who sees us will be more than faithful to provide for our deepest need as we cry out to Him.

Jesusâs earthly father Joseph was an unsung hero.
Joseph displayed obedience and played a key role in Godâs plan played out through Jesus. Joseph can sometimes be in the background, blending in without much notice.
After receiving dream after dream (Matthew 1:20; 2:13-14; 2:19-21; 2:22) from the Lord, Joseph had a choice to obey which he did in every instance. He chose to walk this unexpected journey with his wife Mary and their âGod in the fleshâ son.
God was and still is more than capable of protecting us like He did the baby Jesus from being snuffed out by the enemy. Heâs more than capable of protecting the Kingdom writer and the books they are called to birth into the world.
May we listen to the Lord, whether in our dreams or any other means God wants to intervene in our lives.
Like Joseph, we may find ourselves in a story that we never expected and wondering what the Lord has up His sleeve. And like Joseph the carpenter, we can humbly live out our lives as a different kind of carpenter where we build things with the raw material of words and ideas from the Lord.
Joseph had no idea what kind of adventure he was signing up forâŠand neither did we.

2 Kings 22 & 23
King Josiahâs reforms all started with finding a book in the Temple. The High Priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law which had been lost for years.
Josiah was 26 when this Book of the Law was found and he repented when he began reading what was contained in the Law. He then sent a delegation to the Temple to inquire of the Lord. The prophet Huldah shared a message from the Lord that judgment was coming but that it would come after Josiahâs lifetime.
Josiah could have coasted into retirement and done nothing but he decided to do everything possible to help his people follow the Lord. His reforms led to a great revival among the people.
It all began with a book that was lost and found. How will the Lord use our books both now and in the future? He may use our books in ways beyond our comprehension.
