Description
In this timely keynote, Athena Dean Holtz invites Christian editors, writing coaches, and publishing professionals to recognize the unseen spiritual pressures shaping today’s manuscripts, relationships, and ministry work. Drawing from Scripture, decades of industry leadership, and lived experience, Athena exposes how pride, exhaustion, unhealed wounds, and distraction can quietly undermine clarity and compassion in editorial decision-making. Rather than promoting fear, this message equips professionals to steward words with humility, biblical discernment, and spiritual resilience. Attendees will gain practical insight for navigating conflict, boundaries, forgiveness, and authority—so they can serve writers faithfully, protect their own hearts, and advance kingdom impact without losing their souls.
