If You Feel Nervous About Your Calling, Read This
Have you ever felt nervous right before doing something important? That shaky feeling in your chest, the thoughts that say, “What if I mess this up?” or the quiet fear that whispers, “I’m not ready.” That’s exactly how I felt the night I shared my heart about the Creative Ministry Collective. And here’s what God showed me in that moment: feeling nervous doesn’t mean you’re doing the wrong thing. Often, it means you care deeply and you’re stepping into something that truly matters.
A New Chapter for Paint & Purpose: Introducing Creative Purpose Ministries
Hey friend! I’ve been praying over this for so long, and I finally feel ready to share the vision God is growing inside this little corner of the internet. If you’ve been around Paint & Purpose (or Imagine Nation Paint) for any length of time, you know my heart has always been to blend creativity, community, and Jesus in a way that feels real, safe, and inviting.
As I’ve been preparing for future Praise Painting nights in 2026… faith-based painting events for churches, women’s groups, Bible studies, and communities… the Lord has been tugging on my heart. What started as a simple idea to combine worship and creativity has turned into something deeper: a calling to create spaces where people can meet Jesus in unexpected, beautiful ways.
Finding Purpose in the Battle: Stand Firm in Faith for Such a Time as This
Hey there friend! There’s an alarm sounding for the Church… and it’s time for us to wake up and suit up in the Armor of God.
I couldn’t sleep one night recently. My mind was racing, and I knew God was stirring something in my heart. I felt Him whisper, “It’s time to rise up. It’s time to speak out in love and truth.”
So even though this was way out of my comfort zone, I decided to step out in obedience, because this message isn’t just for me. It’s for all of us.
Lisa Harper and Christine Caine: A Night That Changed Everything
In December, I had an unforgettable experience meeting two incredible women I’ve admired in ministry for years—Lisa Harper and Christine Caine. They came to a local church in Roanoke, VA, about an hour from me, and I knew I couldn’t miss it. Not only did I attend the event, but I also got a ticket for the pre-program Q&A session. It was worth every mile, every minute, and every bit of excitement leading up to it!
