Creativity isn't just about what we make. It's about how we steward the gifts we've been given

One of my greatest joys is sitting down with creatives and hearing how God has shaped their journey.

In our latest Artist Spotlight interview, I had the privilege of talking with Australua-based painter and printmaker Kiana Thompson.

We explore her creative journey, the role faith plays in her work, and what it means to faithfully steward the gifts God has entrusted to us.

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, maker, writer, musician, designer, or simply someone longing to create with God, I believe you'll be encouraged by Kiana's wisdom and heart.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down?

Life can be busy…

Between work, study, building a business, and trying to keep up with everything else, it's easy to feel mentally tired and disconnected.

That's why I'm so excited to be launching Creative Connection – Tauranga Young Adults.

This isn't an art class, and it's not your typical networking event.

It's a relaxed Sunday afternoon where young adults (20–35) can enjoy coffee, good music, simple creative activities, and real conversations with other people who are looking to connect.

The best part? You don't need to be creative or artistic 😁

Creativity isn't about making something perfect. It's about giving your mind and body a chance to slow down and integrate.

Simple creative activities powerfully reduce stress, regulate the nervous system, process emotions, improve focus, and even unlock fresh ideas and new ways of solving problems.

That's why so many entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals are discovering the value of making space to create.

Whether you're building a business, starting your career, studying, or simply looking for genuine connection, we'd love to welcome you.

📅 Sunday 19 July
🕑 2:00–5:00 pm
📍 Tauranga (venue announced soon)

As this is our Founding Launch Event, we're keeping numbers small so everyone feels welcome and has a chance to connect.

If this sounds like the kind of afternoon you've been needing, I'd love for you to join us.

Have you ever wondered if God could bring something beautiful out of your darkest season?

In this powerful Fire Stories conversation, I sit down with Christian artist and missionary Amy Kindler as she shares her incredible journey from abuse, deep depression, overwhelming anxiety, and spiritual deception to a life filled with hope, purpose, and God's restoring love.

Amy doesn't hold anything back.

She shares what it was like to hit rock bottom, how Jesus met her there, and how He transformed her pain into a mission that now reaches people in Uganda and the DR Congo.

If you've ever...
✨ struggled with anxiety or depression
✨ questioned your purpose
✨ felt far from God
✨ wondered if He could still use your story..this conversation is for you.

No matter how dark life feels today, your story isn't over. God's grace is still reaching, restoring, and rebuilding lives.

🎥 Watch the full interview on YouTube (link in comments 👇🔗)

💬 I'd love to hear from you after you've watched it.

What part of Amy's story encouraged you the most?

Please share this video with someone who needs a reminder that hope is never lost. ❤️🙏
