…and for 9 months straight, all I did was stare at a blank page.
Hey, I'm Justice Tilsher — bestselling author and founder of Jesus Writing Month.
Back when I was a homeschooled teen, I had one big goal:
Write and publish a book before I turned 18.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do it.
I hated everything I wrote.
Compared myself to the greatest storytellers of our generation.
Started over a hundred times.
And let fear convince me that my story would never be enough.
For nearly a year, I sat paralyzed — watching my biggest dream slip through my fingers.
And then, everything changed.
One day, I came across a scripture that would change my life forever:
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."— 1 Peter 4:10
It turns out that "steward" comes from the Greek word oikonomos — which means, the manager of a household.
But a steward doesn't just guard what's been given. A steward multiplies it. Improves it. Returns it better than before.
That's our role as writers.
To take the creativity God entrusted to us… and give it back better.
Not for praise. Not for clout.
But for the Kingdom.
That moment changed everything for me.
Writing wasn't about perfection anymore. It was about obedience.
Once I stopped writing for approval and started writing from obedience, I finished my novel.
I published The Space Between the Seasons.
It hit #1.
People started calling me "the book guy."
But what mattered most?
I had finally finished something — not out of pressure, but out of purpose.
If you're here, you probably know what it's like to:
I built Jesus Writing Month for you.
Not a course. Not a cute Christian accountability group.
A movement.
Another writing course collecting digital dust
A bootcamp that burns out by day 5
A motivational Zoom with no follow-through
A Pinterest-perfect aesthetic with zero breakthrough
A 30-day writing revival.
A sacred rebellion against perfectionism and procrastination.
A secret society of storytellers who've chosen obedience over fear.
It's about purpose.
It's not about writing faster.
It's about writing with freedom.
It's about waking up with clarity, community, and the peace of knowing —
You're walking in your calling.
It's all online.
You've tried doing this alone.
Now it's time to do it differently.
