Have you been living out the expectations of others rather than being yourself? In this episode, we take a look at David as an example of someone who needed to shed the expectations put upon him by others. In his case, David literally needed to shed the armor that Saul had given him for battle. It’s time to begin living out the unique plans God has for each of us as we fulfill our calling! This episode’s Godly affirmation: “I’m living out the plans of God for my life, not the expectations of others.” “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.” – Psalm 62:5 (NLT) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

Sometimes we may find ourselves taking on a scarcity mindset when it comes to our creativity. “Can I really sustain this for very long?” “Eventually, I’ll run out of ideas.” “My art business will eventually dry up for lack of creative ideas.” The truth is that God is limitless in the creative idea department. Limitations with physical resources provide great opportunities for Kingdom resources to be poured out as we’ll see in Matthew 14:13-21 where Jesus feeds the five-thousand. This episode’s Godly affirmation: “My Heavenly Father has unlimited creativity and resources in his storehouse.” “They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.” – Matthew 14:20 (NLT) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

We’ll dive deeper into that question in today’ This episode’s Godly affirmation: “When we pray, we win the day!” “Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time.

During the 2010 season, Oregon Ducks football coach Chip Kelly began rallying his team around a mantra that would eventually become popular even outside of the football field, Win the Day. It can be easy to look ahead or even spend time worrying about things we can’t control. Being fully in the present moment allows us to experience the most peace. How can we ‘win the day’ in our own lives? We’ll dive deeper into that question in today’ This episode’s Godly affirmation: “When we pray, we win the day!” “Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” - Matthew 6:34 (TPT) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Free Lettering Resources: www.yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

Gratitude is powerful! This word is derived from the Latin word “gratia” which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness. When we’re fully aware of the grace we’ve been given in Christ, we can’t help but be full of gratitude and gracious toward others. Psalm 136:1 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.” In this episode, we explore the effects of gratitude and how each of us can practice this positive habit daily. This episode’s Godly affirmation: “I’m grateful for the gifts God blesses me with each day.” “Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light.” – James 1:17 (The Message) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Article based on research that Gratitude can actually have positive effects on overall health - https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/giving-thanks-can-make-you-happier Caroline Leaf’s book “Switch on Your Brain” - https://www.amazon.com/Switch-Your-Brain-Happiness-Thinking/dp/0801015707 Shelley’s “The Gratitude Journal” book - https://www.amazon.com/Gratitude-Journal-Challenge-Relationships-Greater/dp/1946118087 YouVersion Plan on Prayers of Gratitude - https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/13353-5-prayers-of-gratitude Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

We celebrate birthdays and holidays. If we’re honest, we all like to be celebrated for the successes in our lives. In this episode, we dive into the topic of celebrating one another. When we see others experiencing a measure of success, what is our initial response? Are we excited for them or are we blinded by our own desire for success? Ephesians 4:16 says, “He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” When we realize we’re all on the Kingdom team, we can lift up one another and truly celebrate #communityovercompetition This episode’s Godly affirmation: “I can celebrate others because God celebrates me.” “Do to others as you would like them to do to you.” – Luke 6:31 (NLT) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

In this episode, we continue with a topic we began exploring in episode 11. We’ll take a look at 7 different signs you might be stuck in the comparison trap.

It’s our hope that each of us can break free from the comparison trap as we pursue the things God has for our lives. This episode’s Godly affirmation: “I am content with the unique purpose and process God has for me.” “Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.” – Galatians 6:4 (NLT) Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

Comparison and jealousy can be something we all struggle with, especially in this age of social media. Teddy Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Proverbs 27:4 says, “Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.” Sometimes we can look at the success of others and wonder why we aren’t experiencing the same thing. We don’t see all the details behind the scenes that enabled others to experience that success. We also wonder if there’s really enough success to go around, leading to a scarcity mentality. We look forward to opening up this needed conversation on a topic many of us have dealt with or are currently dealing with. This episode’s Godly affirmation: “I keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and the unique things He does through me.” Hebrews 12:2a TPT – “We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection.” Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Shelley’s teaching on identity: https://www.facebook.com/authoraudience/videos/2081771508746620/ Free Lettering Resources: yourcreativeadventure.com/free Free Art of Prayer eBook: http://yourcreativeadventure.com/artofprayer/ Instrumental music used in the podcast is titled “My Loving Kindness” by Tammy Sorenson.

What are the benefits of a creative prayer life? 1.) First of all, it helps you stay focused. 2.) It leads you into deeper intimacy with God as you meditate on His Word. 3.) It is one way to pray when you don’t have the words. Romans 8:26 says, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” 4.) It can open up your creativity in other areas. By practicing creativity in prayer, you may find you are more creative in other areas like your work, cooking, problem-solving, etc. In this episode, we will be discussing 3 simple ways to integrate creativity in prayer.

This month we are focusing on social media. One of the biggest questions you ask is how do I grow my social media following? First of all, I recommend not trying to do all the things. Choose 1-2 platforms. And instead of focusing on numbers and growth, focus on serving the followers you already have. Build a tribe of raving fans that will promote you to others because they know, like and trust you. We will talk about specific ways you can serve your followers in this episode.

This episode is based upon the scripture Exodus 31:1-5, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!” God specifically chose Bezalel for the purpose of helping to build the tabernacle. And God has a specific calling on your life as well. He has something very specific for you – a very specific assignment in the kingdom. We will discuss this in today’s episode. This episode’s Godly affirmation: I am filled with the Holy Spirit and He gives me wisdom as I create. We believe every person has been given unique gifts and a specific role to play in the kingdom of heaven that will make an impact for eternity.
