Out of all the emails in the world, this was the LAST one I expected to see.

Our good friend Mark Osborne, a fellow Christian podcaster and Podmatch Network member, sent me a one sentence message that I just happened to glance at.

He mentioned that a well-known YouTuber had just mentioned my devotional on his channel.

The name sounded familiar, so I decided to click over and search a bit.

Lo and behold...

I discover that a YouTube creator, Kevin Kolbe, has not only mentioned The Creator's Purpose, one of our YouVersion reading plans in the Creator series, but he also linked to it in the description of his video.
​
I don't want to focus only on the size of Kevin's audience on Youtube (over 100K subscribers) and how grateful I am for the amplified reach this video represents, but more on the alignment that this moment highlights.

Kevin is unapologetic about his faith, but his channel doesn't present faith-based content as a focus. He helps creators of all kinds. But at this moment, this devotional helped him frame a conversation that addressed a core question all of us have to answer:

"Why do you create?"

Even now, you may think that the work you're doing and your creative efforts are going unnoticed.

As Kevin says in the video, if your "why" is only about being noticed and gaining fame, you run the risk of burning out pretty fast when results don't match your expectations.

I could have felt that way about my devotional's popularity on the YouVersion app.

However, fame is not my why.

My why is that every creator should be able to truly become who God created them to be.
​
And in this instance, I was able to see that purpose realized.

I truly loved hearing Kevin's insights and reading the comments from his community.

​ Please give this video a look, like it and share any thoughts that come to mind in the comments!

(and Kevin, if you're reading this, hit me up if you'd like to be on the podcast! We want to learn more from you!)
