About this episode
Send us a text We typically think of tension as a negative thing, right? Tension is where our fears are magnified, where our past mistakes replay in our mind, where the imposter syndrome kicks in. We’re usually trying to release tension in our lives, not create more of it! But tension can also create beautiful things. Think about the violin and other stringed instruments. The reason that sound is produced from the instrument is due to the tension that’s created between the wood and the strings. Without that tension, the bow would make a sound resembling a dying duck! That tension is what allows musicians to create beautiful music that moves people to tears! But if tension or its friends - fear, imposter syndrome, and doubt - are preventing you from creating beauty, that’s the time to step in and make a change. That’s why I hope you’ll join us for one of our most anticipated events of the year, the Artist Rise Up Masterclass + Art Challenge! During the month of September, we’ll have live teachings and times of worship, an art challenge, lots of prizes, and just a great time for fellowship, connection, and learning with artists of different media from all over the world! When you start to align with His purpose for your life, the tension that is created can be a thing of beauty as it helps you step into the divine design that God has designed especially for you.
