114. 4 Keys to Confidently Share Biblical Truth in a Divided World

In today’s episode, we tackle the challenge of confidently sharing biblical truth in a divided culture. Join us as we explore four strategies to help you speak God’s Word with conviction, clarity, and love. We dive deep into how getting rooted in scripture, cultivating a humble heart, communicating with compassion, and living a life that reflects faith can transform the way you share your beliefs.

Key Takeaways:

1. Get in God’s Word Daily: Building a foundation in scripture equips you to share truth with authority and confidence. Devotionals and sermons are wonderful supplements, but direct, daily Bible reading is essential.
2. Cultivate Humility and a Teachable Spirit: Confidence should be paired with humility. Approach conversations and scripture with a willingness to learn and admit when you don’t know all the answers.
3. Communicate with Love and Compassion: Biblical truth is powerful, but speaking with empathy and understanding helps you connect meaningfully with others, inviting them to engage.
4. Live Out Your Faith: Actions speak louder than words. When we live what we believe, it builds trust and shows others that we’re committed to living by the gospel.

Scripture References:

• Psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
• 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – "All scripture is breathed out by God..."
• Proverbs 11:2 – "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."
• Ephesians 4:15 – "Speaking the truth in love..."
• Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..."

Creative Processing: Discovering Healing Through Intentional Creativity With Danielle Damrell

Hey friends!

I am so excited to introduce you to my beautiful friend Danielle.

Breaking into the entrepreneurship world as a lettering artist, her art and business evolved and her work has been featured in publications all over the world including Business Insider, Forbes, Voyage Denver, and several other national publications. In 2021, her passion for creativity and connection merged as she launched the Created Worthy Podcast. In 2017, Danielle founded the Danielle Damrell Creative Collective.

Danielle is now empowering and inspiring others to step into the life of freedom and abundance that we are all WORTHY of living. She is often found mentoring and teaching others how to channel both the joys and chaotic moments of life, into creating meaningful work through focusing on the power of intention.

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of Creative Processing—a unique approach to using creativity as a tool for healing and personal growth.

Danielle shares how God revealed this term to her and the powerful realization that creativity goes beyond traditional art forms. Whether it's organizing, cleaning, or even playing with your kids, tapping into our creative minds with intention can help us combat overwhelm, find peace, and unlock the fruits of the Spirit like joy, love, and patience.

Danielle explains how creative processing differs from the creative process, emphasizing that it’s not about producing external results but about experiencing internal transformation. By pairing any creative method with a clear intention, we can process emotions, reduce anxiety, and find clarity in the midst of life’s chaos. She shares personal examples of how this practice has helped her rewire her mind, reduce stress, and regain balance in her busy life as a mom and business owner.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or creatively burned out, this episode will inspire you to reconnect with your creativity in ways you may not have considered—and to use it as a tool to experience the peace and joy that God has for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Creativity isn’t just about art—it's a God-given tool to process life’s challenges.
• By pairing creative activities with clear intentions, you can reduce stress and tap into inner peace.
• Creative Processing leads to internal transformation, helping you experience the fruits of the Spirit.
• This episode offers practical steps to start engaging in Creative Processing, regardless of how “creative” you think you are.

Hey friend,

In this episode, Avery and Samantha delve into the profound journey of moving from a performance-driven relationship with God to truly experiencing His unconditional love.

Avery shares her background as a pastor’s kid and how, despite knowing about God all her life, it wasn’t until she was freed from the cycle of performance that she truly felt His love. She discusses how this shift transformed her understanding of God's love—from something to earn, to something to experience deeply. Samantha echoes these sentiments, reflecting on her own struggles with striving and how breaking free from this mindset led her to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowing God's love beyond just intellectual understanding. Both hosts explore the challenges many believers face in truly feeling loved by God and discuss how a shift in mindset and heartset can radically transform one's faith journey.

Avery and Samantha's conversation is a heartfelt call to break free from the cycle of performance and to embrace the fullness of God's love, leading to a more authentic and joyful relationship with Him. Praying this episode encourages you and points you back to the heart of our Father.

Until next time, Sam
