The Courage to Create Podcast
A Creative Sanctuary for Christian Artists and the Wounded Imagination
Are you a Christian artist learning to own your calling?
Or someone who once loved creating but now whispers, “I’m not creative”?
The Courage to Create Podcast is a creative sanctuary in audio form — a sacred space for Christian artists, creatively anxious adults, and anyone longing to rediscover their imagination as a gift from God.
Rooted in Christian spirituality and rich theological reflection, this show explores:
• Creative courage and artistic calling
• Healing creative wounds and overcoming fear
• Spiritual formation for artists
• The biblical foundation for imagination
• Soul care for the wounded creator
• Creativity as collaboration with God
Each episode is like a miniature retreat — blending metaphor-rich storytelling, reflections on faith and art, guided imaginative prayer, creative lectio divina, five-minute creative exercises, and gentle benedictions for the artist’s soul.
This podcast is a love letter to the wounded artist — and to the inner child who still longs to make beauty.
If you’re ready to reclaim your creative confidence, deepen your faith, and live courageously as an image-bearer of God, you’re in the right place.
Subscribe, and join the sanctuary.
