383 - How To Unlock Your Creative Mind: A Conversation with Chris Lumry

Send us a text Have you ever met a kindred soul, someone who just gets you? That’s how I felt when I met my guest on the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Chris Lumry. Chris and I share a love for Jesus, a love for creativity, and a passion for seeing people’s hearts unlocked. Chris grew up very achievement-oriented, and without much of a feeling of being a creative person. He was educated in the finest schools, got a job in Silicon Valley, and was on his way to achieving what he thought were his life’s goals. But it was coming at a cost. He lacked fulfillment. He battled addiction. He was hurting inside and in denial of his own struggles. Eventually, praise God, he sought counseling for his issues, which led him to a church in Northern California. And that’s where he experienced something he never had before: the presence of God as a father in his life This life-changing experience opened him up to childlikeness and creativity he didn’t know he possessed, and he turned it into a mission to provide this experience to others. Listen to Chris’ story and you’ll be sure to feel your own creativity being unlocked. It’s an awesome feeling! And be sure to take a look at Chris’ website, where you can get guidance on recovery, mindset change, and creativity for your growth journey, and more about his book, now available on Amazon.
