In episode 8 we’re talking about the abiding creative life.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about what it looks like to be an abiding creative. I’m going to share about the importance of caring for your creative soul and some of the practical steps I’ve taken to consistently create from this space of abiding in Jesus.
So in this episode we’re exploring:
How you live impacts what you create.
What are some ways Jesus calls us to create.

I hope this episode inspires you to start to consider what rhythms and steps you might be sensing the Lord inviting you to take to become an abiding creative.
After listening, try reflecting on these questions:
What does it mean to you to be an abiding creative?

Some resources to grow as an abiding creative
One of the best things I’ve ever done for my creative work is invest in caring for my soul and building sustainable rhythms to support me as I face the highs and lows of this creative life. If you’re sensing Jesus inviting you to dive deeper into abiding creativity, I’m excited to share a few next steps you might want to take:
Creative Clarity Sessions
I’m now offering Creative Clarity Sessions, which are an opportunity to have a one on one conversation to explore what God’s up to in your creativity so you can find clarity and confidence in your next steps. This is a great resource if you’re feeling burnt out in your creative work, stuck in anxiety and analysis paralysis, you’re in the middle of a project with no clear next steps, or could just use some outside perspective and support on your creativity.
During our call I’ll guide you through some questions to uncover insights that will help you better understand yourself as a creative and what you need in order to flourish. We’ll discuss where you feel stuck or lost in your creative practice, clarify your creative identity and purpose so you can stay rooted in it, and discover the rhythms you need to care for your creative soul in this season. After our chat, I’ll send you a creative roadmap that organizes everything we explored along with personalized soul care suggestions.
The Abiding Creative Workbook
If you’re just starting to explore what it means to abide in Jesus, I also created the Abiding Creative workbook which you may find helpful. I created this digital download as a practical, interactive guide to caring for your creative soul. It’s full of prayerful prompts and practices crafted with Christian creatives in mind to help you connect deeper with Jesus and re-align with your God-given creative identity and purpose.
Join Abiding Creatives Community
If you could use some creative friends in this season who are going on a similar journey with Jesus as you, consider joining the Abiding Creatives community. Paid subscribers get weekly prompts, practices and resources to care for your creative soul. I’m excited to continue to grow this community into a space where we can connect, support and showcase our creative work.
