Show Notes Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast comes to you from the Christian Product Expo (CPE) in St. Charles, Missouri , where host TS Wright sits down with Rebecca White of AWSA—the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association . Rebecca introduces listeners to the mission and ministry behind AWSA and explains why the organization holds its annual gathering alongside CPE. Christian retailers come to CPE looking for new books, gifts, jewelry, cards, artwork, and other Christian products, while authors have an opportunity to build relationships that can help place their books into independent Christian retail stores. Rebecca explains that AWSA is much more than a professional writers' organization. Its members consider themselves “AWSA sisters,” building a culture of cooperation rather than competition. Authors encourage one another, promote one another's work, and recognize that the ultimate objective is larger than individual book sales: getting the message of Jesus Christ into the world. In This Episode Why AWSA partners its annual event with the Christian Product Expo How Christian authors and independent Christian retailers can support one another AWSA's training and mentoring opportunities for published authors Why book launches, marketing, and AI have become important parts of author training The role of prayer, worship, and spiritual encouragement at the AWSA conference How Christian writers can reach audiences through fiction, nonfiction, Bible studies, devotionals, children's books, gift books, and more The purpose of the Golden Scroll Awards How the Christian Market Book Awards provide opportunities beyond AWSA membership Why Christian authors need community rather than competition Encouragement for aspiring writers who believe God has placed a message on their hearts AWSA's Protégé program for those who want help beginning their writing journey Why reaching children through Christian literature is especially important How every Christian writer can reach a different part of the harvest Rebecca also describes the strong spiritual foundation of AWSA's conference—from prayer-warrior sessions and small-group prayer to worship and encouragement. As she emphasizes, Christian writers aren't simply producing products; they are carrying messages capable of reaching people with Christ. One of the central themes of the conversation is simple: no single author can reach everyone. Different writers, genres, testimonies, and ministries can reach different audiences. The more Christian writers are equipped and encouraged to fulfill their calling, the farther the Gospel can travel. Rebecca encourages established Christian authors who haven't yet “found their tribe” to explore AWSA, while aspiring authors can investigate opportunities to be trained and mentored as they develop the message God has placed within them.
