Do you ever look at your to-do list, then at your calendar, and then think, “There’s no way I’m going to find the time to get all this done.” That feeling is universal, I would say.

To help you take the gu…

When you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or struggling to find the time for what God has called you to do, there’s one little word that can help you a lot: No. Being able to say no to things that are adding to your overwhelm, or are stumbling blocks in the way of God’s plan for you, is a very powerful tool to have in your tool chest.

Author, speaker, and coach Allen Arnold, my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist, says that there are two worldviews we can live in as Christians.

What do you think is the number one barrier that most artists face? Is it a lack of time to work on their art? Technology changes? Access to supplies or studio space?

If you've ever experienced “creative block” - and I can guarantee almost everybody has - then you know how hard it can be to overcome. You feel like you may never be able to regain your creativity.

If we’re called by God to be creative, doesn’t that mean we should never have trouble creating? There are times when the art is flowing out of us, the paint is leaping oto the canvas, the clay is taking shape at our slightest whims, and we can feel the Holy Spirit co-creating with us. But sometimes it doesn’t feel like that. Sometimes we enter the …

Have you ever stopped to think about how much of an impact an act of stepping out in faith can have on people? I don’t just mean for that person, either.
