  • Holy Fear and the Courage to Finish
    Feb 5 2026

    Today is such a milestone! Seventeen episodes into Heart for Creatives, podcasting no longer feels stiff or forced. Honestly, it feels life-giving. And isn’t that the sweet spot we’re longing for in our creative walks with God?

    Today's episode encourages Christian writers to release perfectionism, comparison, and fear as they run the creative race God specifically set before them.

    Drawing from Hebrews 12:1–2, we explore how God consistently uses imperfect people to fulfill His perfect will, and why holy fear doesn’t mean you’re off track. Often, it means you’re right where God wants you.

    ➡️ This episode is for you if:

    • You feel stuck comparing your writing journey to other authors.
    • Fear of “messing it up” has slowed or stalled your progress.
    • You long to finish what God placed on your heart, but feel overwhelmed.

    You’ll walk away encouraged to cast off creative weight, shake off spiritual snares, and fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.

  • Build With God: 3 Foundations for Sustainable Writing in 2026
    Jan 8 2026

    My friend, welcome to 2026!

    I can’t wait to see how the Lord rolls out the fulfillment of His promises in your life this year. As we step forward in Christ, there is no turning back. The door to the last season has shut, and we’re marching onward into the land the Father has prepared for us.

    In today’s episode of Heart for Creatives, we’re laying the spiritual foundations every Christian writer needs before planning the year ahead. If you’re craving peace, clarity, and sustainable rhythms in your writing life—and you’re ready to say goodbye to burnout—this episode is for you.

    We’ll explore three foundational mindsets that help writers build with God instead of striving alone:

    • How to stay fiercely focused on what God said—not what the world demands

    • How to faithfully do your part while surrendering the results to Him

    • How trusting God’s presence fuels courage, consistency, and peace

    This isn’t about perfect schedules or productivity hacks. It’s about aligning your creative process with your faith so you can steward your writing calling with joy, trust, and grace.
