We are worshipers before we are creators. All of us worship something all the time. Our best work is released as we direct our worship to Jesus. As we abide, he bears fruit in us and in our hands, empowering us to make beautiful things.

The beauty of creation points us to worship something bigger than ourselves. The creator of the universe named the stars and numbered the hairs on your head. So don't give up, don't stop doing the good things, and use the gifts you have to engage your dreams with full joy and commitment.

The color wheel, math, and physics all point to the infinite creativity and holiness of God! The limitations we feel never limit God's power and holiness. Embrace your earthly limitations and ask for God's help, creative power, and blessing. Let's view the limitations we feel in a different light.

Even when discouraged or not feeling validated or recognized by others, your dreams matter. Your dreams are put there for a purpose. So reject the discouragement and negative scripts that keep you from enjoying your gifts!

The importance of not seeking our validation or affirmation from others. It's a challenge to do our thing without looking for constant recognition and acknowledgment from others. This episode encourages you not to look to the expectations of others for your validation. We need to be doing whatever we're doing without seeking validation from others in an unhealthy way.

What color is the frosting? What flavor is the frosting? What texture is the frosting? We can be so focused on our frosting, that we forget what matters to a cake is beneath the surface.

Like a moth drawn to the flame, is there a deceptive light that is distracting you from the light that you were created to follow? Like the pillar of fire that led the Israelites, the light of Jesus' presence is shining and the darkness has not overcome it. Are we looking at it?

You are invited to draw near. Will you RSVP? Jesus is already there—near—and invites us to step into the light, to draw near as he reveals how close He really is.

Find your purpose in His presence! Did you know your purpose is not up to you? The Lord will fulfill his purpose for you, and I hope you find that freeing. By seeking the light, we will find our purpose!

It is never too early (or late!) to start digging for the hidden treasure of Matthew 13:44, as this is the only thing to sustain you during times of trouble! This treasure will never let you down and is a well that will never go dry. The compound interest of the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than any other earthly investment!
