307 - Waves of Creativity: A Conversation with Allen Arnold

Send us a text “…Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the LORD Almighty is His name.” Jeremiah 31:35 If ever there were a perfect metaphor for the mystery of creativity—for trying to understand the beauty, life, and order of the universe—it may just be ocean waves. Waves can be beautiful. Waves can be rough. Waves can move you gently or knock you off your feet. My friend Allen Arnold's latest book, Waves of Creativity, is dedicated to creatives who are trying our best to figure out how to step into the deep and do this thing we love with God. As a third-time guest, Allen is a bonafide sage of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast. He invites us to let these waves of creativity wash over us. The invitation is not just to imagine but to experience creativity with no ego attached. The pressure is off. The joy is back. There's a feeling of freedom where you and the Creator of the universe are in agreement, “Let's do this together.” Allen’s big but bite-sized ideas will motivate and encourage you as you pursue your God-given creativity each day.
