As Christian creatives are called to use our divine gifts to serve and inspire others. However, the initial resistance we face can sometimes feel overwhelming.

How do we overcome this inertia and push through resistance to bring our God-given ideas to life?

1. Ground Yourself in Faith

Before any creative journey begins, grounding yourself in faith is essential. Remember that your talents are gifts from God meant to be shared with the world.

2. Seek Inspiration from Scripture

Writing, composing, or designing, scripture provides timeless wisdom and encouragement. Don’t give out without drinking deeply and feeding yourself abundantly on the Words of life.

3. Break Down Your Vision into Manageable Steps

Combat overwhelm by breaking down goals into manageable pieces. Small steps over time = big results.

4. Embrace Community

Isolation amplifies feelings of resistance and self-doubt. Engage with fellow Christian creatives who share similar passions and struggles.

5. Utilize Practical Tools for Productivity

Having the right tools frees up the capacity to create instead of hesitate. Find and use the tools that fit your way of working. Invest in your creativity as required, but be careful not to get caught up in buying software, tools, and subscriptions that suck your attention from the simple act of making. A tool should simplify your workflow not complicate it

6. Confront Fear Head-On

Feel the fear and do it anyway. You’ll discover that the voice of fear diminishes and faith rises with every decision you take to move forward. What was once hard becomes easy over time.

7. Celebrate Progress Regularly

Finally yet importantly – celebrate every milestone reached!

Recognize every minor achievement along the way.

Thankfulness will fuel your future efforts!
