The Secret to Creativity

How do we take a project from initial idea to completed creation? 

The world offers endless answers. None fully work. Because when we leave God out of the process, all we have left is self, formula, and striving. Creating without the Creator always is less than it could be.

The secret to creativity is simply this: pursue your passion with God. Show up every day, ready to create. And stay expectant for what you and God will do together. 

That’s not just a theory. It’s how I’ve written five daily readings every week for the past four years. This month marks the four-year anniversary for these messages in a bottle—and the process has been the same for more than 1,000 readings. Every day, I push through the lie that I have nothing to offer. I show up ready to create. I stay expectant for God’s presence and leading. And we create together.

But it isn’t just God and me. You play a role as well. Reader donations help cover the costs of this creative outreach. The readings are free to receive, but not free to create. As I start a new year of pouring into the creative community, I’m asking (and grateful) for your year-end financial gift of any amount via PAYPAL (or by check to Allen Arnold at PO Box 62841, Colorado Springs, CO 80962).

Above all, thanks for being a part of this shared journey. I hope these readings provide an ongoing source of encouragement as you actively pursue your dreams and creativity with God!
