In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Pastor Tunji Olujimi from London. Tunji shares his emotional journey of serving as a full-time carer for his mother during the final years of her life. When doctors gave his mother just two weeks to live, Tunji made a promise to himself; exactly one year after receiving that devastating news, he published his very first book on his birthday to honor her. He vulnerably discusses how the intense physical and mental toll of caregiving ultimately developed a profound sense of compassion, faith, and resilience in his life.
Today, Tunji uses that same God-given compassion to coach others to write and publish their own books in 90 days. He reveals the three things holding most people back from writing; not having a clear message, market, or missionand explains how taking your ideas from your head onto paper can make a massive impact in the world. If you have been sitting on a story for years or feeling the urge to rush your purpose, Tunji’s powerful reminder that you are "designed and destined for more" will give you the courage to finally step out and write it!
