    God is waking up something in people right now—and if you’ve been feeling a renewed stirring to create, dream, or finally take your creativity seriously, I don’t believe that’s something you should ignore.
    Maybe a creative dream you thought was gone keeps coming back. Maybe you haven’t created in years, but suddenly you feel drawn to begin again. Or maybe you’re realizing that your creativity isn’t just something you do—it’s part of who God created you to be.
    In this video, I share why I believe God is awakening and reawakening Christian artists and creatives in this season, what that awakening has to do with your identity in Christ, and why your creativity has a much greater Kingdom purpose than simply making beautiful things.
    We’ll explore how God can use art, beauty, story, music, writing, design, and other forms of creative expression as places where people encounter His truth, goodness, healing, hope, and presence.
    I’ll also share a revelation God gave me years ago about the relationship between faith and creativity—and why creating in partnership with the Holy Spirit can become a powerful way of giving visible form to what God is revealing in the unseen.
    If something inside you has been saying, “It’s time to create again,” this message is for you.
    Your creative calling didn’t expire because life got complicated. God hasn’t forgotten what He put inside you. And the dreams He planted in your heart may be stirring again for a reason.
    🙏 Be sure to watch until the end, because I’ll pray specifically for God to awaken and reawaken everything He has placed inside you—and give you the courage to faithfully respond.
    If this message resonates with you, leave a comment and tell me: What is God awakening in you creatively right now?

    You Thought God Called You to Be an Artist But Now You’re Not So Sure

    You thought God called you to be an artist, but these days, you’re not so sure and you’re thinking about giving up. If that’s you, then this message is for you.
    Maybe things haven’t happened as quickly as you expected. Doors haven’t opened. Your art or business isn’t growing the way you hoped. You’ve been faithful for months—or even years—and you’re beginning to wonder, “Did I miss God? Am I on the wrong path? Should I just give up?”
    God wants to encourage you today: don’t give up yet.
    In Psalm 27:13–14, David reveals what kept him from losing hope in the middle of disappointment and uncertainty: he believed he would see the goodness of God in the land of the living.
    And then he gives us the key:
    “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.”
    Waiting on God doesn’t mean sitting still and doing nothing. It means looking to Him with expectant hope, standing your ground when circumstances tell you to quit, and allowing Him to strengthen your heart as you continue faithfully stewarding what He’s placed inside you.
    If you’re a Christian artist who feels discouraged, behind, overlooked, or unsure about what God is doing in this season, I pray this video reminds you of the truth:
    God is still working. Your calling still matters. And this is not the time to give up.
    Keep your eyes on Him. Keep creating. Keep believing. And keep going.
    📖 Psalm 27:13–14

    Have you ever walked into your creative space only to feel completely uninspired? It’s a debilitating feeling most artists face on a regular basis.  In today’s video, I’ll be teaching you a simple process God taught me in my own studio that’s helped me to reconnect to Him and to the creative gift He gave me. And once you start practicing this in your life, you’ll be able to experience that supernatural creative flow again every time you walk in the studio.

    Why Does It Feel Like God Is Blessing Everyone But You?

    Have you ever wondered why it seems like God is blessing everyone else... but you're still waiting?
    In this video, I share one of the biggest breakthroughs God has ever shown me about His provision. For years, I believed I was waiting on God to move—until I discovered that the real issue wasn't His willingness to provide. It was a hidden blockage in my own heart that Scripture calls double-mindedness.
    Together, we'll unpack James 1 and discover what the Greek word dipsychos ("double-minded") really means—and why understanding it can completely transform the way you see God's provision, your creative calling, and your identity as His child.
    You'll learn:
    Why God's provision isn't usually the problem.
    The surprising meaning of "double-minded" in James 1.
    How fear and faith compete for your attention.
    Why many believers struggle to receive what God has already promised.
    How to recognize the provision God has already placed in your life.
    Practical steps to move from fear into confident faith.
    If you're a Christian artist who has ever felt stuck, frustrated, overlooked, or wondered, "God... what am I missing?" I believe this message will encourage you and help you move forward with greater peace, confidence, and expectancy.
    Key Scriptures:
    James 1:5–8
    Mark 11:24
    Ephesians 1:3
    2 Peter 1:3
    2 Corinthians 9:8

    The Thriving Christian Artist Pathway is my proven, step-by-step mentoring journey that's helped thousands of Christian artists gain clarity, confidence, and creative momentum by learning to create with God—not just for Him.
     
    Have you ever wished God would just show you the whole plan for your life?
    As artists, it's easy to believe that if we just prayed harder, became more spiritual, or heard God more clearly, we'd finally know exactly what to create, where to go, and how everything is supposed to work.
    But what if God isn't withholding the blueprint?
    What if He's inviting you into something even better?
    In this video, I'll share four biblical truths that completely transformed the way I walk with God as an artist. You'll discover why God often leads us one step at a time, how to trust Him when you can't see the whole picture, and why becoming the artist He created you to be is less about getting all the answers and more about faithfully walking with Him every day.
    In this video you'll discover:
    • Why God often gives promises before He gives plans.
     • The difference between pursuing certainty and pursuing relationship.
     • What the name Jehovah Jireh really means—and why it changes everything.
    • Why God cares more that you create than what you create.
    • How to confidently move forward even when you don't have all the answers.
    Scriptures referenced include:
    • Proverbs 3:5–6
     • Proverbs 25:2
     • Psalm 119:105
     • Genesis 22
     • John 10
     • John 15
     • Romans 8
     • Galatians 5
     • 2 Peter 1:3–4
     • Colossians 3:23
     • Micah 6:8
     • 2 Corinthians 9:8
