Description

In this episode of The Next Brave Thing, I talk with Chris Cruz—creative director and former pastor—about identity, reinvention, and the courage it takes to start over.

Chris shares his journey of leaving ministry to pursue his creative passions, the challenges of navigating societal pressures, and the healing that comes with embracing authenticity.

We explore the tension between art and commerce, the power of self-expression, and the hidden growth that shapes our most meaningful transitions.

Chris Cruz is an author, creative director, and former pastor known for his passion for spiritual formation and creativity. After 15 years in ministry at Bethel Church, he now works with Harbor + Union, a creative agency. He lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with his wife, Lana, and their three kids.
