Today’s guest is Emily Wickham. She is a Christian author, Bible teacher and podcaster whose lifelong passion for writing eventually led to a traditionally published Bible study after years of persistence and faith.
Along the way, she raised and homeschooled four children, built a writing ministry and discovered that God often opens doors one step at a time rather than all at once.
In our conversation, you’ll discover several valuable lessons.
First, Emily explains why it’s never too late to pursue a dream, even if success takes years longer than expected.
Second, she shares how personal experiences, both joyful and difficult, can become powerful tools for encouraging and helping others.
Finally, we discuss the importance of prayer, why it doesn’t have to be complicated and how simple, honest conversations with God can transform our daily lives.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your life experiences still have purpose after turning 50, or whether God can use the dreams you’ve carried for decades, I think you’ll find a great deal of encouragement in Emily’s story.
What I appreciate most about Emily Wickham’s journey is that she never viewed writing as simply about publishing books.
Instead, she sees it as a ministry that helps women grow closer to Christ through authentic stories, biblical teaching and practical encouragement.
Even after turning 50, Emily continues finding new ways to serve others through books, podcasts, devotionals and her growing online ministry.
Her purpose comes from faithfully using the gifts God has given her while trusting him to open the right doors in his timing.
