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?”
