    Ep 15: Showing Up In Excellence & Avoiding Mediocrity

    www.instagram.com/Christcenteredcreativitypod Can I be honest with you all? I got comfortable. Like, "okay, this is fine, this is working, let's just keep it moving," comfortable. And God had to check me on that, because 'okay' is not the same as excellent.This episode is a real one. We're talking about what it actually looks like to show up in excellence as a believer, not just having the gifts, not just having the favor, but doing the work to match it. In this episode, we get into: → Why having talent and God's favor doesn't automatically mean we're showing up well (entitlement is sneaky, y'all!) → The difference between a builder's mindset and a "this is good enough" mindset → The pregnancy analogy that put things into perspective for me: you can't neglect the toddler because you have a new baby on the way! → What it means to be an ambassador of Christ in your professional life, your client relationships, and your creative work → How to do an honest audit of where you've been falling short, and what to actually do about it This episode came from a personal place. I had to look at Christ Centered Creativity, this very podcast + community, and admit I hadn't been watering it. And if you've noticed you haven't been watering what God entrusted you with, it's not too late to get back to it! Do your audit this week: Where can you show up better? Start there. A reminder: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1) Another Reminder: Always take everything I say, and anything anyone else says, back to the Lord and make sure it's aligned with God's Word. Drop a comment and let me know what stood out to you. I genuinely want to hear from you!Timestamps:0:00 - Episode Snippet: Showing up in excellence 0:38 - Christ Centered Creativity Podcast Intro 0:56 - Welcome to Christ Centered Creativity! 1:13 - Ep. 15: Showing up in excellence & avoiding mediocrity 3:39 - What is mediocrity? 4:03 - What is excellence? 5:10 - The trap of entitlement with God-given gifts 5:20 - What is entitlement? 8:17 - The subtle ways mediocrity can creep in 17:06 - How we can show up in excellence moving forward 22:51 - The Audit: Some questions we can ask ourselves 23:48 - A few words of encouragement!24:20 - Comment down below which tip you'll be taking from today's episode! 24:36 - Christ Centered Creativity Podcast OutroSome scriptures inspired by today's episode: 2 Corinthians 5:20 Daniel 6:3 Colossians 3:23 📩 Contact & Connect:Email - Christcenteredcreativitypod@gmail.com Instagram - www.instagram.com/Christcenteredcreativitypod Christ Centered Creativity is a faith-based podcast exploring the intersection of faith and creativity.

    Ep. 14: Create More Than You Scroll | Social Media, Stewardship & Staying Focused

    Okay, so… this one is very much a convicting episode. And before I say anything, no judgment, because I am very much in this with you all. We need to talk about social media. Not in a "delete everything and go live in the woods" kind of way, but in a real, honest, 'what is excessive scrolling actually doing to us?' kind of way. The same platforms we're using to create for God's glory can become the very thing keeping us from the work He's called us to. And that's... a problem. In Ep. 14 of CCC we get into: → How idleness, distraction, and comparison all sneak in when we have no real boundaries on our scrolling → The lust of the eyes, and how watching someone else do what God told you to do can give a false sense of progress → Why endless "research" scrolling counts too (yes, this can still be procrastination) → How scrolling actually costs you energy, and why you might be more drained than you realize → What it means to steward your time well and why God is paying attention to that → Reflection questions to ask yourself before you open the app → The CCC Community Challenge, a voluntary, grace-filled way to start protecting your creative hours You were made to create, not just consume. The world needs what God put in you, and we can't keep letting the scroll bury it. This week's challenge: work on your God-given assignment before you open a single app. That's it. Start there. Let me know in the comments if you're taking the challenge; I want to cheer you on!

    Ep. 13: Did God Send You, or Did You Send Yourself? | Selfish Ambition & Counterfeit Opportunities

    www.instagram.com/Christcenteredcreativitypod.com Okay, so… I'm back 😅 Listen, life has been...life'n, and I owe you all a whole explanation, which is exactly what this episode is. Season 2 is here, and we're kicking it off with a real chat about where I've been and what God has taught me. Episode 13 // Season 2, Episode 1: "Did God Send You, or Did You Send Yourself?" So here's the real: I thought God was calling me back to school. And maybe He was… eventually. But I jumped ahead, moved out of season, and learned the hard way what happens when you act on a partial word before God is done speaking. Spoiler: it doesn't go the way you planned. In this episode, we dive into: → How selfish ambition can disguise itself as a God-given direction (it's sneaky!) → The difference between doing something God told you to do vs. doing it out of season → Why waiting matters, and what happens when we get impulsive with a word God isn't finished giving us yet → Me being honest about feeling down and struggling through this season (depression is real, y'all) → How getting up to film this episode was literally me choosing to stand, and why that matters → How to discern: did God send you, or did you send yourself? Also, I want to emphasize that this is a COMMUNITY, not just a podcast. We're thinking big picture here, so I'd love to know where you need support and how this community could help you in those areas! *Scripture References:* Job 5:17 (KJV)1 Cor. 10:23-24 (NIV) Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) Proverbs 19:2 (NIV) Ephesians 6:13 (NIV) Romans 8:28 (NIV) Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:59 - Where have I been? (life update 😅) 6:18 - Did God send you, or did you send yourself? 8:11 - Seeking God for wisdom & discernment 10:32 - Open doors don't always mean God's direction 12:27 - There's a time AND a season for everything God calls us to 13:33 - The trap of making what you do your identity 15:16 - Being blindsided by selfish ambition 17:50 - Why God wanted to stretch my ability to wait 20:13 - Leaning on your own understanding is pride 21:54 - When you learn from a mistake, pass the wisdom on 22:49 - Stay open to what God wants, not just what you think is best 24:27 - Closing scriptures & final points 27:25 - Some encouragement for you (and me lol 😭) 32:33 - Drop your takeaways in the comments! 33:00 - Outro Email - Christcenteredcreativitypod@gmail.com Instagram - www.instagram.com/Christcenteredcreativitypod Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/6HnhcLManMy4hqzuKjUnHT Apple Podcasts - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/christ-centered-creativity/id1790451502Podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@christcenteredcreativity -- Christ Centered Creativity is a faith-based podcast and community exploring the intersection of faith and creativity.

    Ep. 12: You don’t need their creative gifts, you just need to recognize yours! | Overcoming Envy

    We’re going out with a bang for the Season 1 Finale of Christ Centered Creativity!👀 Today, we’re talking about Envy and how to overcome envying other people’s creative gifts as Christian creatives. God has placed unique gifts within all of us, and it’s important we focus on being good stewards of those gifts instead of falling into the trap of envying how God is using others. Because the truth is, you don’t need their creative gifts, you just need to recognize YOURS!💕 Disclaimer: Always take what I say (and what anyone else says) back to the Lord(:💕 Scripture References: James 3:14-15 (NIV) James 3:16 (NIV, KJV) Ecclesiastes 4:4 (NLT) Matthew 25:15 (NIV) Matthew 25:29 (NIV) Proverbs 4:25 (KJV) 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NIV) Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChristCenteredCreativityPod Email: Christcenteredcreativitypod@gmail.com Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ArtbyJadaSamone

    Ep. 11: How to Use Chat GPT with Integrity As A Christian Creative

    In today’s episode of Christ Centered Creativity, we’re discussing ChatGPT and how we can avoid making it an Idol as Christian Creatives. ChatGPT is a great resource, but we must use it in a way that is surrendered to God’s will so that we don’t fall into the trap of being overly reliant or co-dependent on it. If we’re honest, artificial intelligence ain’t got nothing on God’s intelligence! Join me in today’s episode as we take heed to God’s reminder that HE is our source of creativity, not ChatGPT! 💕 Scripture References: James 1:5 Ephesians 2:10 John 14:16-17 Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChristCenteredCreativityPod Email: Christcenteredcreativitypod@gmail.com Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ArtbyJadaSamone

    Ep. 10: The Idolization of Artistic Expression & Aesthetics | It’s not “just art”

    Have you made art and idol? In today’s episode of Christ Centered Creativity, we’re talking about the Idolization of Artistic Expression and Aesthetics. As Christian creatives, we must be mindful of what we consume creatively through movies, music, and entertainment because what we consume, we become. Believe it or not, art is not “just art.” We have an enemy looking to see who he can deceive, and guess what? A common way he does this is through art and entertainment! Join me in today’s episode as we discuss why it’s important we’re being led with discernment (through the Holy Spirit) so that we’re not being deceived by artistic expression, aesthetics, talent, and what things look like on the surface without looking deeper.

    Ep. 9: Is a TikTok trend worth causing someone else to stumble? | Stewarding Influence Well

    In today’s episode of Christ Centered Creativity, we’re diving into the importance of stewarding the influence God has blessed us with and doing so well! When God blesses us with a platform, our main goal should be to glorify Jesus and point people to Christ. As Christian influencers and creatives, we must consider others above ourselves while stewarding our influence because the last thing we want to do is cause others to stumble on their walk with Christ. In this episode, we’ll be discussing why we should submit our platforms/ influence to God, being mindful of who and what we choose to endorse to our audience, and why it’s so important we look deeper into things before suggesting it to others. If you’re a Christian creator of any kind with influence (spoiler alert: we ALL have influence), this episode is for you! Join me as we look into the Word of God to see how we can be better stewards over the platforms He’s blessed us with(: Disclaimer: Always take everything I say (and what anyone else says) back to the Lord/ His Word).

    Ep. 8: Are you rejecting God’s creative call on your life? | Imposter syndrome & false humility

    Welcome back to Christ Centered Creativity!(: In today’s episode, we’re talking about the deception of false humility, imposter syndrome and how these are often the reasons why we reject God’s creative call on our lives as Christian Creatives. If you’ve been struggling with moving forward with what God has called you to do because of feelings of inadequacy, this episode is for you! Join me for an episode of edification and encouragement as we combat the lies of the enemy with the truth of God’s word and learn how to walk in obedience despite how we may be feeling in the moment. *Disclaimer*: This episode is not to promote being impulsive or hasty by moving forward with things that haven’t been confirmed by God, but more so encouragement for those who know they’ve been in disobedience by not moving forward with the directions God has blessed them with. Always take what I say (and what anyone else says) back to the Lord(: Scripture References: Isaiah 43:19 Amos 3:3 Ephesians 6:12 Philippians 2:13 2 Corinthians 12:9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChristCenteredCreativityPod Email: Christcenteredcreativitypod@gmail.com Podcast Topic Request Form: https://forms.gle/2Lq4NtpG97GaZ5pv5
