  1. Creativity According to a 10 year Old

    Creativity According to a 10 year Old

    In this shorter (and very silly) episode, I interview one of the most creative people I know - my 10 year old son, Hunter. Amidst some very silly bloopers Hunter shares some helpful insights on what it means to be creative. At the very least you'll get some giggles out of this episode.  Hunter can not be found anywhere because he is a 10 year old boy with no social media.

While there was a time when she thought she wasn't creative at all, Justine has come to discover that creativity just looks different for her and how to quite those critical voices that try and tell her otherwise.

    Faith, Food, and Community with Sarah Hausser

    God can use everything we do, even that which feels mundane and unimportant. In this episode I chat with Sarah Hausser, Author, Speaker, and food blogger about the intersection between faith, food, community...and of course creativity. Gathering together can seem so normal and insignificant but there is such sacredness between gathering at the table. Sarah details in such beautiful imagery the significance of it - not just in this life but in the one to come.

    Grace and Haircuts (Bonus Episode)

    Sometimes when we begin feeling uninspired or your creative outlet has lost its luster it can be very tempting to throw in the towel. However, maybe we don't need to do that. Maybe all we need is to make a small change.
