When life feels like a glob of mess, sometimes all it takes is a stroke of creativity to clear the mind.  It's my pleasure to introduce you to Kelly Brinkman, the imaginative force behind "Art for the Soul," in a conversation that reveals how art can be a profound conduit for spiritual renewal. As you listen, you'll be transfixed by the way Kelly compares the malleability of clay in an artist's hands to our own transformation under divine guidance. We weave through the pages of her book, sharing personal moments of struggle and the creative forms of prayer that have deepened our connection with Christ. From painting prayers to understanding the cleansing power of water in art and spirituality, we uncover uplifting practices that promise to rejuvenate your faith and clear your mind.Kelly and I discuss the parallels between centering clay on a potter's wheel and centering one's life on Jesus, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in both pursuits. Kelly is  offering a special downloadable gift to enhance your Bible study in a creative and engaging way. Join us for this inspiring journey, and discover the transformative potential of art in your spiritual life.Resources Mentioned on the Episode and suggested reading & social media handles:KellyBrinkmann.com/bookKellyBrinkmann.com/newsletter -  Get Your FreebieKellyBrinkmann.comThe Me Project Academy Newsletter  Calls to Action:·        Sign up for The Me Project Academy Newsletter for resources on decluttering your mind in order to grow in Christ, academy news and new releases of the podcast. ·        Website: www.hangingoutwithjesuspodcast.comThanks for listening.

There is only one God, God Almighty, the Creator of All, the I AM That I AM. And yet, we don't obey His voice but cry to Him when things get to messy for us to handle. The point is that we are worshipping other gods (things, people, etc) which have no power.Thanks for listening. I pray this episode was a blessing to you. Leave a comment or rate this episode .
