In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with my longtime friend Karen DeLoach—a multi-disciplinary artist, teacher, filmmaker, and creativity specialist who has spent decades championing the role of the arts in culture and the Kingdom.

From her early days in sculpture and ceramics to her passion for painting and equipping others to express Holy Spirit inspiration, Karen’s story is a rich tapestry of creative calling and resilience.

We explore the importance of engaging the right brain in our creative and spiritual lives, the challenges artists face in a culture that often undervalues beauty, and the freedom that comes when you step back into dreams others once dismissed.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why activating your right brain is key to creativity and Kingdom impact
How Karen overcame early discouragement to embrace painting again
The role of beauty in the arts and why it matters for God’s purposes
Practical ways to cultivate Holy Spirit-inspired creativity
Encouragement for artists of all ages to believe “the best is yet to come”
