Creative resistance has been on my mind lately.
That heavy feeling that shows up right when you sit down to create.
The distraction.
The doubt.
The quiet voice that whispers, Maybe later. Maybe you’re not ready. Maybe it doesn’t matter.
In today’s episode, I’m naming that resistance for what it often is, fear, distraction, and even spiritual opposition trying to silence what God placed inside you on purpose.
What if the resistance you feel isn’t a sign to stop…
but confirmation that what you’re creating matters?
We’re diving into Scripture to uncover the truth that creativity isn’t optional fluff or a side hobby. It’s woven into who you are as someone made in the image of a Creator God. When you create, you reflect His nature. And when creativity is delayed, muted, or dismissed, the world misses out on what God intended to release through you.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
• Why creativity is God’s idea, not yours
• Why resistance shows up strongest right before breakthroughs
• The lies that quietly block obedience, like perfectionism, comparison, and “I’ll do it later”
• How to overcome resistance with both spiritual truth and practical action
• Why creating with God becomes both worship and warfare
I also invite you into a gentle moment of reflection, asking:
What has God been nudging you to create?
Where have you felt resistance?
What would obedience, not perfection, look like today?
If you’ve been feeling stuck, weary, or hesitant to begin again, let this episode be your confirmation:
What God placed in you is worth protecting, nurturing, and releasing.
🎧 Listen now to Small Beginnings with Sara and let God meet you right in the middle of your creative process.
And if you’re ready to go deeper, I’d love to walk with you inside Divine Creativity: Healing Through Painting or Journaling, or the Creative Healing Bundle, where we create with God, not striving, not performing, but listening and responding.
God still speaks.
He may be calling you to something creative.
And it might just feel impossible.
Go create, with Him. 🤍
