197. When Creativity Feels Stuck: Overcoming Doubt, Pressure & Finding God in the Process


Listen Later

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Mind Bully, host Norense Odiase shares the emotional and spiritual journey of battling creativity blocks and overcoming doubt as a Christian creative. When the pressure to perform meets the silence of progress, it’s easy to lose sight of your identity in Christ—but this episode reminds you of the mental health tools, spiritual authority, and God-given purpose that can bring your creativity back to life.

Drawing from personal experiences—from the NBA G League to NYU film school, and childhood trauma to healing through faith—Norense explores the root causes of performance mindset, burnout, and comparison. Through biblical reflection, storytelling, and real talk, he challenges you to stop trying to impress and start expressing from a place of wholeness.

This is a message for anyone stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, chasing visibility, or feeling like their faith and creativity don’t fit together. The truth is, your spiritual growth and your creative expression are deeply connected. And yes, even in the stuck moments, God has a plan for your creativity.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why comparison kills creativity

  • How trauma, self-doubt, and burnout shape your creative process

  • Lessons from Jesus, Moses, and the temple on calling and craftsmanship

  • How to reframe your story through the lens of identity in Christ

  • Rebuilding your confidence and creative energy through faith

  • Why you don’t need clarity to start—you just need courage

Whether you're a content creator, Christian podcaster, or just someone in a season of waiting and wondering, this episode offers perspective, vulnerability, and a reminder that your creative work is kingdom work too.

Listen, reflect, and remember: You are already chosen. You already have what it takes.
