Welcome to Episode 4 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! We’re a group of creative women who love Jesus, value authenticity, and are passionate about creating from a place of truth, grace, and obedience. Every month, a few of us pull up a chair to talk about what it really looks like to follow God in the middle of everyday life.

On today's episode, host Rose Jordan is joined by Heather Riggleman, Racquel Lopez, and Joni Rosebrock for a vulnerable conversation about the fear of insignificance. Together, we explore how that fear shows up in our self-talk, what it costs us creatively, and how to continue creating even when the results aren’t visible.

We also share practical encouragement and reminders from Scripture for the woman wondering if her small offering really matters.

1 Corinthians 15:58 – "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! We’re a group of creative women who love Jesus, value authenticity, and are passionate about creating from a place of truth and grace. Every month, we gather around the table to share honest stories, practical encouragement, and the reminder that you’re never alone in your calling.

In today’s episode, host Racquel Lopez is joined by Cristina Slabic, Michele Wilbert, and Heather Riggleman to talk about overcoming impostor syndrome. Together, we name the lies that hold us back—like “I’m not qualified” or “Who am I to do this?”—and explore what it looks like to step forward anyway, trusting the One who called us.

• When we first felt like imposters in our calling, and what those voices sounded like
• The difference between humility and impostor syndrome—and how to recognize it
• Cultural and church messages that can fuel our self-doubt
• What’s helped us move forward despite fear and uncertainty
• A Creative Confession: one thing each of us did recently that imposter syndrome told us not to do
• How God’s perspective on calling is so different from our own

“What if the question isn’t Who am I to do this? But who am I NOT to do this when God has placed this calling on my heart?”

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! In today’s conversation, we’re exploring what it means to be made in the image of a creative God, and how that truth shapes the way we see our work, our worth, and our everyday lives. Whether you’re a painter, parent, podcaster, or planner, this episode will remind you that creativity isn't extra– it’s essential.

Hosted by Joni Rosebrock, this conversation brings together four women with different creative callings to talk about the beauty and the tension of creating in the middle of real life. You’ll hear honest stories, a few laughs, and a lot of grace.

What We Talked About:

• What it really means to be made in the image of God, and how creativity is part of that design
• Why creative work can feel insignificant or selfish, and how to shift that mindset
• The everyday distractions and pressures that make creating hard, and how we carve out sacred space anyway
• Recognizing creativity in the small, often-overlooked parts of life
• Encouragement for the woman who feels unqualified or unsure whether her creativity matters

Practical Encouragement: “What if your creativity isn’t something extra but essential to how God made you to reflect His goodness in the world?”
