Ep 103: How Collaboration Can Change Your Life with Cara Ray & Becky Beresford

What If the Key to Growing Your Platform Is Linking Arms Instead of Striving Harder?Becky Beresford never planned to be a writer. A special needs mama navigating postpartum depression, she found herself with a passion for discipling women and no way to get out of the house to do it. So she picked up her pen — and everything changed.In this conversation, Cara sits down with Becky Beresford — writer, speaker, coach, and author of She Believed He Could, So She Did (Moody, 2024) — to talk about one of the most underutilized tools in a Christian writer’s toolkit: collaboration.Becky shares how intentional partnerships with other writers helped her grow her platform, build her email list, land a literary agent, and launch her book — not through hustle, but through the simple, biblical conviction that we are better together than we are alone.In this conversation, you’ll discover:* How writing became a ministry when Becky couldn’t leave her home* Why your email newsletter outperforms social media every time* Practical, low-pressure ways to start collaborating — including email swaps, giveaways, bundles, and launch teams* How to find trustworthy creative partners who share your values* Why collaboration is obedience, not just strategy“We don’t have to do it alone. We’re not supposed to.”Whether you’re just starting out or years into your writing journey, this conversation will encourage you to take one small, faithful step toward another writer this week.🎧 Listen now — and don’t miss Becky’s extended solo teaching inside the Writers’ Bloc Teaching Archives, where she goes even deeper into the practical architecture of Christian collaboration.Follow Becky at www.beckyberesford.comFor more information on the Writers’ Bloc, visit: www.mywritersbloc.com This is a public episode.
